DSL is nice because you have a dedicated line and some providers give you 
pretty high bandwidth (up to 1Mbit) for pretty low pricing. Cable will have a 
higher upper capacity on bandwidth, but you will be sharing that 3-4Mbits 
with your neighbors. A lot depends on how active everybody else on your trunk 
line is. I think the upstream bandwidth on cable is more limited than on DSL 
also. Do not always go by peak numbers bandied about.
