I'm in San Francisco. I've had dsl for the past 4 years I believe? And It rarely ever gets messed up. So I never saw a reason to change to cable(actually, I wanted to get cable because of the higher down/upload speeds). But for the past year, my speeds have gone up to a point it's almost or just as good as cable. The price sucks but...eh. My cousin who lives about 5 minutes from me has comcast and has a crappy connection so he might go with dsl. And one of my other friends that has comcast up the block from me has a great connection. So I guess it does vary where you live. :dunno:
