That's great, for all the times when you want to transfer data to your ISP.
The rest of the time, you have to consider their internetwork connections -
how big, how oversold, and how reliable are they? How often does your service
go down, and do they have other restrictions on access? That's a lot harder to
cover in 1 sentence on a full-color glossy.
I've had lousy cable (in SLC) and awesome cable (here, for about 4 years), and
seen lousy DSL and good DSL. For this location, cable's great. But with
both, your mileage is likely to vary *greatly*.
