Well I can tell you from experience it always helps to have an alternative when you are trying to get attention to a problem. I have cable at home and DSL at my studio. The DSL is slower, a lot slower and I've had about five-six outages in the last two years some lasting as long as two days. When I first got @Home I had one or two short outages after electrical storms but I haven't had any in about two years. OTOH there were intermitant problems with delayed e-mail and unavailable mail servers that seemed to go on for two years, but recently (last three-four months) cleared up completely. The email that came with the DSL service isn't much better, but I only use it to send from so its never been a big issue. As long as I can keep cable I'll keep it, if I was offered cable at the studio I would switch. I would never switch to DSL unless I had no choice.
