I was wondering if cable is capable of a faster connection than DSL?

I'm unfamiliar with DSL, but of course I noticed an improvement when we switched from dial-up to cable.

We noticed a huge improvement in speed when we switched from cable to DSL.   I understand that there are even faster levels of DSL than the one we have.  It's pretty amazing, especially compared to the days of dial-up Internet service.

I have to say I just switched from DSL to cable, and have had better luck with my low speed cable than my medium speed DSL. Although I am satisfied with both, I was/am able to download in seconds what took close to an hour with dial up.

I think there are different speeds for each one.  You have to look at the mbs/second rate or something like that.  I could have that totally wrong.

Cable definetly trumps DSL it's no contest really 12Mbps vs 2Mbps.
