Cable vs DSLWritten by Bradley James
Okay, so you are finally tired of those slow dial-up internet connections, and you want to go broadband. Good deal. But first, you may be wondering which type of broadband connection is best- DSL or Cable? Or, at least, which of two gives you more speed for price? Here we take a look at these two popular broadband connections and try to determine which one is better: DSL vs. Cable.Cable Speed vs. DSL The most common question that comes up is which type of connection is faster, DSL or Cable? To answer this, it is important to compare both upload and download speeds. Now, so you have something to compare these speeds to, your average dial-up connection is about 28 - 56 Kbps. Most often, however, you won't be able to get 56k through dial up, as most services can not handle this speed. The average speed of a DSL download is 1.0 - 1.5Mbps. That's megabytes per second - about 20 times as fast as fastest dial-up connection. This is fast, but consider Cable, which can give you up to 2 - 3Mbps. Thus, at least for downloading, cable can give you almost twice speed of DSL - that's impressive. On upload side, however, cable and DSL are pretty evenly matched. They both provide about 100Kbps - 400Kbps. It seems that cable has won this battle.
