This is exactly my experience as well. In DSL's favor I would add that it's not a shared pipe and the latency is generally low and very very consistent. If it were 20-30mbps down DSL would be competitive again. Emotionally I'd like to ditch both the phone and cable providers, they and their exploitive business model suck fetid dingo kidneys.
- bathory 7y agoThat's weird, DSL is the most common way of going online in Germany and many providers offer 20-200 Mbit connections
- reaperducer 7y agoMy current ILEC "offers" 100 Mbit DSL, but you have to be within a certain distance of their main infrastructure (I forget what it's called. DMARC, maybe?) This means it offers 100 Mbit service, but at my house it actually maxes out at 8 Mbit.

- TylerE 7y agoI dunno. The latency would have to be really really really low (like single digit ms) for me to even consider it. My cable is 220mbit down/17.5mbit up (actual measured values).
