    Cable Vs. Dsl: The Definitive Post

    Why does it seem to me that the endless Cable vs. DSL battle will go on forever?

    It's like Coke vs. Pepsi, McDonald's vs. Burger King, and Your Mom vs. a Deodorant Stick....the fucking war will never end.

    I use cable...I always have...but I get the feeling that if I switched tommorrow (which I always tell myself I am going to do) I would have the same amount of quirks and problems and dissatisfaction with customer support.

    Sheeit....I think at this point I should think about switching to a mouse on a wheel...fuck at least I could buy a snake and watch it eat that little rodent.

    I mean honestly...have you ever seen a snake eat a cable modem or a DSL line filter?

    God Bless Snakes and Mice.

      there was a debate?

      I thought it was brutally obvious that cable is far superior to dsl.

                      In the 4 plus years I have subscribed to 2 different Canadian cable ISP's I have had exactly ONE outage lasting longer then one day.

                              I get 300-400k down on dsl. cable is dependant on how many people are using it. So the more subscribers=less speed. Which is crucial in a major city. But... cable may be better than dsl in areas with low subscribers, whereas dsl speed depends on how close you are to the local loop.

                                      well.... you're partly right, but mostly wrong.
                                      Cable is broken into nodes. There can only be so many people on a given node. There will never be slow speeds, because even if a node becomes maxed out, they can always break it into smaller nodes (unlikely) or boost the node. (probably)

                                      let's see what else....

                                      1. a big thick ass cable, versus two scrawny little phone wires. (shouldn't take rocket science to figure this one out)

                                      2. Cable is readily available to virtually anyone with cable. And even to those without cable.... they'll fucking install the line.

                                      3. Cable is not limited by distance as dsl is.

                                      4. Cable is virtually never down, unless the modem dies or the provider blows a node.

                                      5. Cable is cheaper than dsl.

                                                  the crap that your dsl company has been telling you PureMeds about too many cable subscribers = slow speed is nothing but a sales pitch bro... it has no basis in fact.

                                                                                  I remember....way back in my days of Playstation 1 IRC downloading, there was one dude who would consistently transfer to me at unbelievable speeds....like im talking 450mb in 100 minutes.

                                                                                  I remember the most amazed I ever was was this one dude from sweden who I swear was the second fastest dude I ever remember downloading from...

                                                                                  And finally...about 3 years ago...I remember a guy who had a publically accessible FTP anonymous site who had about 150 gigabytes of every type of software, console game, and vcd there was...always open...always online

                                                                                  Ahh...the good ol' days of "unfettered" ISP access.

                                                                                                                                                      Despite what some companies would like you to believe, DSL connections are shared Internet connections. With cable connections you share the connection to your ISP with your neighbors and it is true, with DSL you do not and so have your own private connection to your ISP. However, as you can see on our diagram, at the ISP all their users share the ISP's connection to the Internet. This applies to cable, DSL, satellite, dial-up? everything.

                                                                                                                                                      As a consumer shopping for a connection your best bet is to talk to people in your area who own the connections you're considering. Cable is highly dependent on the neighborhood and DSL is highly dependent on the physical distance from your house to the nearest ISP CO (central office). This means that experiences vary not only from city to city but even inside the city and inside the same provider. In addition to transmission speed you have to consider price, installation time, and customer support, all factors that depend on the ISPs, not the technology.

I average 1.2 downstream and 256 upstream on my BellSouth DSL connection. Only when BellSouth first started DSL in Florida did they have a lot of kinks. Recently they seem to have the system running very reliably. We're also on FITL (Fiber In The Loop) which means the DSL connection is running through a fiber connection. The first to be installed in Florida and so far so good.

So cables sharing with your neighbors wouldn't be an issue.

My DSL provider even started a refund policy for people cause they had so much damn downtime.

I'm usually more interested in the up because most broadband services offer at least close to a megabit down, but only a few actually give a decent up speed...

I think an SDSL connection would be cool...I'm currently shopping for an ISP here in Sacramento, any locals got suggestions...?

In Sac the cable is better than DSL. Cable used to be really good around here , nice upload speeds, insane download. Then until At&t took over comcast now i pay more for less as usual with At&t, but it's still better than the DSL.
