Depends. Cable = can be faster than DSL, but can slow down during peak use hours DSL = can be slower than Cable, but you can most likely expect the same bandwidth all the time. Dialup = you have to be kidding me! |

| DSL for sure! It's the most stable connection. |

Not. For stability you need to look into your ISP's networking equipment. If they have a mish-mash of vendors' equipment, stay away. If they have only a few vendors, you are much better off. e.g. Major ISP 'A' has equipment from 7 vendors (for ADSL). They are the market leaders (due to good marketing campaigns, etc.). Major ISP 'B' has equipment from 2 or 3 vendors (also ADSL). They are number 2 in their market (I won't get into why). Stability: B wins hands down and anyone who has used both can tell you that. (I don't want to embarass A, hence the A/B BS.) Solution: Call up your ISPs, talk to a senior engineer, and find out what kinds of equipment they have. As for cable vs. xDSL, it primarily depends on the cable ISP's policy regarding how many registrations they accept for a given node. If their equipment can 'handle' 96 connections, and they max it out, forget it. If they install another node after 60 registrations or so, then that's a lot better. Again, call them up and find out. Hope that helps.

| Vendor equipment is stuff like Cisco switches and the like. A 'vendor' is just a company. Not all equipment is compatible, so if they use different stuff from different companies, you end up with poor quality service. |
