look into the speed per money ratio of both. you might get a lot more bang for your buck if you look around even tho it might cost more.
And does your cable TV go out a lot in storms? even thro they ride on differnt signals they come thro the same wire. so most likely if your TV cable doesnt go out much, neither will your Cable internet. i've never had it go out cause of a storm.
And what many dont tell you. is DSL also flucuates speed depending on a lot of ppl in your area. but really you only notice if your uncaped (for both cable or dsl)
if they cap you at 128, and they can go up to 3MB, your not going to notice anything depending on the ppl in your area. same with cable. and even when you do, its barely anything. Unless you sit there with a broadband speed test running it over and over, you will not notice speed changes.
The other thing, at least around me, DSL will have you sign a 1 year contract, and you have to deal with it, good or bad for that full year. Cable lets you go and get out of it or cancel the subscription anytime. (at least around me, perhaps something you should also check into)
