Cable Beats DSL For Average Speed

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the also-brings-you-futurama dept.

zymano writes "CNET article here says cable modems are 50 percent faster on average than DSL connections which I think most have suspected . There are some connection rates that i found interesting like Cablevision reportedly having the fastest connections, averaging 800kbps, or 13kbps above the industry average. Mentions other cable company speeds. TimeWarner cable was not tested."

    DSL is infinitely faster than cable modems. Why? Because I run my own web and mail servers. The 128K upstream speed that I have (servers allowed by the user agreement) is infinitely faster than the upload speed on a cable modem (servers disallowed by the user agreement).

    Besides, I don't send money to cable companies on principle.
