I have had cable for about a year and a half now, I can't imagine surfing without it.
Sometimes I play Combat Flight Simulator 2 and Mechwarrior 4 on the Zone and its so nice, no lag, and no disconnects.

HAHAHA!
I bet it is, I had to deal with AOL for about 6 months, cause it was free, and my parents didn't want to pay for high speed access, so i took it into my own hands.

You have to buy the games on CD-Rom first and then you can play multiplayer at http://www.zone.msn.com

Simply, Cable is twice the speed and twice the cost. But you don't have to run a seperate phone line, so if you do that then cabke is cheaper.
I pay $49 a month, for broadband cable, I get 1.5MBPS min, and 2.0 on avg.
DSL is $28 a month for access and another phone line is $37 a month, and thats just too much.

In my area, cable is $42.95/mo and you get 1.5M DL (but in reality it's around 1.9)/256K UL. DSL, if it were available, is (or was) $30 for the basic DSL line and maybe $15+ for an ISP; no extra phone line needed here. The service gives you 256K DL/128K UL. So, for more money people get less. But for more money, you can get faster DSL. Why people here choose it I will never understand.

i have DSL and i didn't have to get a seperate line. they send you a duel outlet thing for your phone jack. you plug your phone into one side and the modem into the other. i'm not sure how it seperates them but it does. where i am cable is $85 a month i pay $40 per month for the DSL
