While cable can offer a faster connection than DSL, after your neighbors start getting cable too, it piles up and gets slower. Usually DSL is a better choice for internet access and here's why:
- Speed - DSL speeds can range from 3 to 5 MB and even reach 7 MB in some places.
- Expense - Cable is more expensive, with more fees and taxes on it.
- Reliability - Internet access in DSL is more consistent than with cable. Take note that when cable lines are used at the same time by more users, the internet connection slows down.
- Security - A DSL application is more secure than cable. DSL runs closed and dedicated circuits that are always on the connection. In cable lines, there's a possibility it will be hacked or hijacked.
- Quality - Unlike cable, DSL access is not shared and is therefore never crowded.
- Uploading and Downloading - DSL offers faster rates in uploading and downloading files, video, and audio.
