but thats just my experience, ive had nothing but bother from adsl, but cable has never failed me once.


oh, and Hauzer, 240kbp/s is actually ok for a 2mb line, 2mb is the connection, not the download rate, if you want 2mb download rate, you need a 20mb line (or around that size anyway)
Are you getting your Mb and your MB mixed up?

I have a 4MB line, and consistently get 3.86Mb/s (485MB/s) on downloads.
