I have cable, it works pretty well. I have no problems with it. The T.V. package that comes with it sucks, however.

DSL for me is faster than cable. DSL is also about 30$ cheaper, and cable isn't even that good. -.-

DSL for the win.

I have had ADSL for about four years now and I am satisfied with the service and speed. I had dial-up for 15 years. At the beginning the internet was text based through the universities here. When we got ADSL, it was faster than cable because ADSL uses a switched network instead of a token-ring type of network. Since then, the cable company has added fiberoptic as well as cache devices at certain points around the connections, so it is about four times as fast as my connection. I probably won't switch, because I didn't like Time Warner Cable and have gotten satellite TV now. Very seldom do I need the speed on the fiberoptic. So...price vs. speed vs. need -- I'll stick with DSL for now. I have heard they are working on improving speeds as well.

SDSL is still more common in Europe. Short for symmetric digital subscriber line, a technology that allows more data to be sent over existing copper telephone lines (POTS). SDSL supports data rates up to 3 Mbps...

i would prefer broadband, really fast.

 

You can get up to 52Mb/s in the UK on cable but on broadband you can only get 8Mb/s. Cable also has much better upload speeds than ADSL

Broadband is the best for me. It give me that satisfaction.

Deffinetly Broadband! I LOVE having FAST internet!!!!!!!

Really stupid question...

 

I think anyone would prefer an *always on, *high speed internet connection.

I think most people would. But the truth of the matter is finding websites that can actually handle speeds over one megabyte per second. I mean seriously now the odds from my personal experience is most websites have less then that set up as a soft limit. But I also know that yes you can send files fast to an extremely low amount of websites. I know that sometimes granted I'm lucky I can get up to about 1 megabyte per second download although more often then not I will get about 200-400kilobyte per second download. I believe that high speed internet is almost a must for a web developer. I mean I can only imagine having to upload files for an extremely large amount of time. Oh and no high speed connection is always on because when your provider gets shut down your internet shuts down. Just something to keep in mind.

cable

For three years now I'm still using a dial-up connection, yes it's slow but I'm happy and contented to it's performance.

I still prefer using it because it's cheap.

I'm pretty much straight up broadband; Wanna' try DSL because the upload speed is faster ( I think..) and it would be useful to be able to upload stuff faster then 512 kb/ sec
