Cable or DSL?

[justin]

I am confused between cable and DSL isp
Which one is better? Which is faster Cable or DSL? Please tell me any one so
I can choose between SBC Ameritech, or Comcast. I want it for particular in a rural area. Comcast can't tell me the baud rate, etc...SBC keeps me on hold, but I need faster connectivity. any advise?

I’m using Bellsouth’s Internet Service with D-link di-704 router & I facing the problem that I can go various websites on the Internet, but while I am trying to login in any website- I cannot connect to. It occurs even with the BellSouth’s web page. When I remove my D-link Router, all the websites are working fine, even I login to the website also. I have the latest firmware drivers for my router.

I don’t know why it is not displayed? What is wrong with my router?

Please do not think so. You understand the your modem cannot work like the Router.
So, please refer the following guides for that.

I hope it solves your queries that are in your mind.

Cable is so much simpler, faster, cheap , DSL is also best compare to Dialup but doesn’t compare to Cable, it costs too much

cable is the best i say but iv hered alot of bad thinigs about comucast but i would go for the cable

Yes Im bias but I think cable is much better as long as all your wiring is good to your home. Those of us that are good installers double check for ingress on the drops and backfeeding CATV's before we leave the install. As long as that done it works great.
