Yup. When it comes to residential broadband you can't beat the speed of cable, unless you have fiber.

But can you tell a difference? I've had both and it wasn't like the server I was on for a download was giving me that kind of speed. All in all I see very little difference. :shrug:

Probably depends on what you are doing. I am reasonably certain I might see a benefit but I often am pulling down multiple large files from multiple locations....

AT&T is the lesser of two evils (vs TWC) so I will stick with DSL.

I kinda miss Windstream/Alltel at the old house. Rarely had an issue and if I did it was fixed promptly. Some of the nicest CSR's I've ever dealt with, too.

We have a local TWC office. Any problems, I go talk to the nice old ladies over there. They get shit done. AT&T here is a ****ing nightmare. The hand doesnt know what the foot is doing.

I had the opposite experience. Cox cable sucked. Now on DSL and have way better performance.

I regularly get 6 MB/s download at home on cable. :shrug:
 
Comcast called me recently with an offer that saved me an additional $100 over the course of my promotion with them and bumped my speed from 25m to 50. Damn thing is screaming now.
