Are you asking about the modem or the service. If it is the service, this is a duplicate question.

Do you mean the modem or the service?? The modems don't really have any major differences. If you are comparing services, which I assume you are, I would say DSL. I may be a bit biased because I have DSL and have never personally had cable. DSL is your own personal line and doesn't depend on other users too much. But for cable, if I am correct, the speed depends on how many users are on. Also, I have heard that cable users lose service more often then DSL users.

0	Cable can supply you with much more bandwidth if you are paying for a fast connection. But cable doesn't have as consistent of a connection as DSL (So sometimes the speed can be faster than other times.) answered Nov 12 '10 at 20:10 Liam Quade 7.4k●92●121●197
