I'd echo this, Phil. On the whole, I've just heard more really strongly 
positive stories about cable, but I know a lot of folks use DSL and seem 
happy with it. As John says, though, just check out the details, as that's 
where the devil is.

DSL is a little slower but if you don't do a lot of downloading you =
shouldn't notice much. Find out what speed the DSL is though, some times =
in the real good deals they can drop the speeds to about dialup speeds, =
they did that to a friend of mine. Not sure what company but they made =
him pay quite a bit more if he wanted good speed.

  First, let me say from the out set, that I know this has nothing to do =
with
  ham radio.  However, since everybody on this list is a ham and is =
literally
  on the internet, does anybody have an opinion about DSL verses cable?  =
Qwest
  here in Denver is offering a digital phone connection, direct TV, =
their best
  DSL, and several other things in a package deal that will save me 100
  dollars over all I am paying for right now.  I'm just wondering if =
I'll
  notice much difference going from cable to DSL?
