I had DSL from 1995 to 2000 and Cable from 2000 to present. Now granted my cable experience is more recent so maybe the technology has improved, but I like cable better.

I always had problems with DSL and PacBell would come out and tell me the line must be wet and would switch me to a different line. I'd often get background noise on my voice line.

I've had very few problems with Cox Communications. I could be lucky - other people think they're terrible.

My brother is trying to get Verison DSL. Even though his neighbors on either side of him have Verizon DSL and the people across the street do, Verizon insists they don't offer DSL in his neighborhood. Go figure.
