Cable here. My cable is 5megabit downstream and the DSL package that is about the same price isn't near as fast downstream.

Cable all the way, my wife is a Finacial Analyst for Time Warner, so we get if for free, lucky me!

T1 at work, Charter 6m @ home......

The T is surprizingly peppy considering the 55 computers using it, and 27 websites running off it.
