Re:Cable Or DSL?

you probably have something around a 3.0mbps connection. (still plenty fast).

if you want you can go to an internet site and test it against other known connections..

At work i registered 1.2 megabits per second actual speed (148.3 KB/sec)

My cable is rated at 3 megabit/sec speed and I typically download at max speeds of ~350 kB/sec
