Cable kicks ass, with one caveat, group size. When you are on cable you're neighborhood is a "hub". If you have a lot of high bandwidth users your top speed will suffer. Usually (hopefully) the cable company responds to this and boosts bandwidth. You need to check out which cable company supplies your area, then talk to people who have it. My cable rocks at well over 2 Mbps! When it was new (cable Internet), I use to average 700 kbps, then it jumped to over 1 Mbps, then 1.5, and then leaped to where it is now. I've had it for approx 4 years. The cable co in the next city was pretty slow for a while (they had huge subscriber growth in short order). They've caught up now and provide well over 1 Mbps.
