I have adelphia and in the 2 - 2.5 years I've had it, it's been out maybe 2 times. Adelphia in my area rocks.
Key being "IN MY AREA". Cable and DSL are diffrent, but they both are capable of speeds higher than what is being offered. Adelphia is great in my area, for LT it sucks.... being in the middle of state college I can't imagine why it sucks :chuckles:
It's not DSL > Cable or Cable > DSL. It diffrent for every area and every provider and every speed package.
Basically, this is a question that cannot be answered simply.

Another friend of mine has a more common DSL package from SBC and he gets 1.5MB down and 128KB up, when I sit at 3.5/384.
