Is asdl better then cable and if it is in what ways? Why do people choose cable?
For me i have no choice, as my bt line is on a dacs (digital access system) which basically means i only have half a telephone line, whilst the other half is with my neighbour, so any high speed connection is out of the question.
So, telewest was my only option.
But if people had a choice between asdl and cable, what would they choose? i would prob choose asdl, but NOT because it is better, but because it is better advertised, i never knew about cable until i found about my bt line.

This thread is merely to discuss asdl in general, and how they squeeze broadband out of a tiny crappy bt line!
