I here have Assymetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) and it works great! The problem with cable is: You share bandwith with your neighbourhood (read it in some book), so it can be slow during day. I don't have this problem. I only had 1 problem with ADSL since I got it. sometimes, the computer of my ISP went down, but this problem is now solved But if I had the choice (and the money) I would choose T1 or T3 (the fastest and most expensive two connections available) I still remember the first ADSL commercial ever in the Netherlands... it was from MXstream. a guy steps in a rollercoaster, all exciteded. later, you see the coaster going very slow in to a looping. then you hear a voice: Internet really gets fun when it's going superfast.
