For a brief period of time, we have both Cable Internet and DSL in the house.

My brother ran some performance benchmarks yesterday evening on the Cable, and got ~7Mbits download and 850 kbits upload.

Not too shabby. I shall not mourn the passing of DSL, which is advertised as 1.5Mbits download, 256 kbits upload. What we get is not that, though.

DSL is the same price as cable internet.

booyah!
