the only reason i don't like dsl is the speed and the provider. for a little over 6 months now i've had very little downtime. when i first got it there were a few times when the techs were messing with the line and i had a few drops, and another time where some large pipes went down in the region. but, all of this probably adds up to no more than an hour.
my cable setup.. although very fast (and the business line was very cool), i had a lot of downtime. it would regularly go out, often for more than 30 minutes at a time. this often happened every few days or so. it was pretty disturbing, especially since i ran server off of this. the cable company knew of this, but they couldn't keep the lines up. it's also a lot cheaper with dsl to get static ips (you don't have to get a $100+ bus. line.. just an extra $10/mo).
so all in all, it's a trade off, reliability or speed.
