That depends on a lot of things, like download/upload speed and with how many homes you need to share your connection etc. Try figure that out and post the info here, than people can give you a decent advice.

Well, I don't know where you live, but in Holland, cable connections share one distribution point per street, so if a lot of houses have a cable connection, this makes your connection slower than DSL, even if te specs say otherwise.

I found the actual speeds and they were 256k DSL and 512k Cable.

Go for cable. We have Cox for internet, TV and phone, so we also get a package discount.

I guess those pesky Japanese are way ahead of us Finnish folks, but a mere 24Mbit/1Mbit ADSL2+ line is fine for now.
