The DSL vs Cable argument isn’t as mainstream as it used to be. Both are extremely fast and seem to be getting faster all the time. Plus, there is something called The Grid, but that is many years away. By the way, if this grid comes to fruition, it will completely change the way we view the internet and what we do there.
But that’s still in the future. For now, lets talk about what we have. And what we may have are cable companies that provide internet service going back to the days of dial-up and charging users for the amount of data they transfer. I think this is absolutely ridiculous considering companies like Netflix are starting to offer on-demand movies that you can download and view anytime. But regardless, Time Warner is leading the way into this old/new venture. Fortunately, DSL is not structured the same way as cable. A user does not share the bandwidth of their connection, so there is really no reason for one person to be charged more than another. Good news for me, since I use Zoomtown from Cincinnati Bell and am completely satisfied with there service. Plus, with the possibility of ADSL2, VDSL, or even VDLS2, I see no reason to move from the phone company. So, if you do a lot of downloading and surfing then you might want to consider DSL over cable…just to be safe.
