Cable is cool if you are the only one in like a fifteen mile radius who has
it.  If Cable becomes really really popular in the next few years, it will
not be good.  ADSL is the way to go.  Check out www.adsl.com

Cable is shared bandwith with all people connected to the same router that
you are.

ADSL is perhaps slower, 1.5 mb a sec dl....average , but in the long run
worth it.  It will replace phone lines someday.
