This idea that DSL users enjoy some sort of dedicated fastlane to the Internet is a bunch of baloney. DSL operators have been trying to convince the public that this is the case ever since they started competing with cable 10 years ago. The truth is that all connections Internet connections are shared. The convergence point of shared data traffic lanes (the bottleneck) just happens at different points along the line.

Real world experience with both connection types over the past 10 years has consistently shown that this alleged advantage of DSL over cable simply doesn’t exist in any form. Cable has and always will be the faster and more reliable connection type.
