If you're just using it for internet access, you should probably take 
a good look at the features vs. the costs of both.  Base your 
decision on that.

In my case I need a static IP, and am running servers at home.  As a 
result, I need features that Cable doesn't offer (neither do standard 
DSL packages).  I have my line with Verizon, but my ISP is Aracnet. 
If I had to "upgrade" to a straight Verizon account, I'd be looking 
at paying at least $40 more per month, as I'd have to get a business 
line.
