Certainly.
I had cable, but it was down often, so I switched to ADSL, and my biggest issue thus far has been the bandwidth limits.
Somehow, not even doing anything exceptionally downloady, I always end up right near my 5GB download limit per month. So far my ISP hasn't made up any rules about what happens if you go over, but they're working on it and I believe the plan involves an extra fee for using anything over that limit. Kind of sucks, but what can you do.
Another big difference in the speed. I've never gotten a download over 150 KB/s with ADSL, whereas with cable it was at least 300-400 KB/s down. It doesn't really make
that big of a difference unless you're downloading huge files all the time, but it is something worth looking at.
The extra speed certainly is nice, but in your case, I'm not sure it's worth the extra 30 bucks a month. Depends what you're using it for, really.
