When I was in Lafayette, I chose DSL over Cable, but only because Cox was going to rape me on installation charges and charge me for basic cable when I don't even own a TV. I decided I'd rather have a land-line with local only service than cable TV I can't even watch.


EDIT: Anyway, the point I was going to try to make is that the decision of DSL vs. Cable is usually best made considering local factors because in any given local and in any given household situation, either could be better than the other.
