In my experience, cable will always be superior to ADSL. Though, it would depend on what you wanted to use the service for.

If you are just a casual user who generally just browses the net and does not run high bandwidth applications, then by all means, go for the cheaper option - ADSL.

But if you do require high bandwidth, perhaps for large downloads that would not implement major performance impeding caps (10mbit/s service caps to 5mbit after a while of downloading constantly but resumes normal operation the following day) then cable is definately the best option. Or perhaps say, you wished to use the connection for gaming, then again, you'd want cable; due to the lower latency.
