Speed comparison between DSL and Cable

[ArtWilliams]

Don't ask me why, but my buddy who knows such things says that Cable will also have the capability to exceed DSL when it comes to speed. This guy hates [the monopoly] Rogers Cable in Toronto but refuses to let go because the ceiling is higher.

My RoadRunner has been busting my balls for the last two days. I called tech support twice tonight to deal with the occasional "server not found" issues and the sudden and complete lack of any data stream this evening. The DOUCHE made me go through a whole series of disconnect this/connect that bullshit, like I'm some kind of goddamn idiot, before he said, "you know what, there's currently an outage in your area." ASSHOLE! I told you my fucking cable light was out. I KNOW IT'S NOT ME!!!. Anyway, they plan on sending a tech here Sunday to check the speed of my modem - even though the issue was clearly not my modem and the outage was miraculously solved while I was on the phone with him. Sons a' bitches.

And my connection died once more while attempting to preview this post. |shocking|

Anyway, will I regret switching over to DSL?
