Default should I get time warner cable or sbc dsl?

I have no idea what to do. I spent 2 hours reading dsl reports and am still not sure. There is not much on cable on there so I have no idea. DSL is cheaper but I am looking for dsl pro which is faster but more expensive. In the end it will be same price. What would you guys get?

The sad part about that offer is that it only is valid for one month...which just so happens to only have about 720 hours.

I'm just going off of my experience. I have the lowest DSL speed because my mom got it when it was first introduced. DSL is a more reliable speed, but is basically limited. Cable, while less predictable and less consistant, can usually offer higher speeds, again all depending on how far you are from the cable company and how many people in your area have cable. When I moved out, I got cable in my place and its much faster than the DSL my mom has. If you got the dsl pro you talk about, and its the same price, then go for it.

Doesn't Time Warner offer a deal where you get cable tv and roadrunner for a low price (as opposed to having it separately)?
