Hi JGoren,

actually xDSL is superior to Cable because when you get clustering of a lot of customers, cable Internet transmission speeds slow down considerably. That doesn't happen with xDSL. But cable does have slightly higher download speeds. Both are much faster than a conventional modem, though.

I think the disadvantages of using cable Internet access will show itself down the road as more and more people sign up for it. I think right now it is hard to tell who will get more customers in the long run, xDSL or cable.
