your posted started well until you said only reason to adsl is if you not in a cable area.

that is probably an assumption that all of adsl lines are inferior to all of cable lines which I dont agree with.

If you have a short line then adsl is probably superior to cable, even with my problems browsing is much faster and less problematic then it was on ntl and I have no ping fluctuations or speed fluctuations.

Some areas of cable remember have nasty contention so in those cases if someone is near a phone exchange they would most likely benefit by switching to adsl.
