fuckin' a, it looks like your DSL provider is giving you half or even a third the ping/ms/latency (whatever) that cable is. so, in all honesty it looks like that is your choice. i said the straw thing based on DSL providing a "smaller" pipe than cable. so, even if it was yours and only yours, it was still not going to allow the bandwidth that a shared cable pipe would. for some reason i just think cable is more constant/stable than DSL. i really dont know anymore, its been like 4 or 5 years since i looked into it.
why does your cable company bounce all the way over there anyway? Tennessee?
