Positron's cable ISP sucks. He can't play games. Does DSL work at all for gaming? |

DSL here is/was superior in every way to cable. Lower latency, better average throughput, higher uptime. In my experience, it's also had lower latency than FIOS, but I'd take 50ms ping for a 20/20 Mbit line again in a heartbeat. It'll probably do fine for servers as well unless you're too far from the DSLAM. Around here, cable and DSL have about the same upload speeds. |

I use ATnT Uverse. I highly recommend it. Great pings, great DVR. I used to have the highest data package which downloaded steam games at 1400k in some cases. I am pretty sure it is a fiber/DSL mix. On a side note I always preferred DSL to cable. However my only cable internet provider was Charter. Don't use them. |

I had Qwest 5mb dsl. Vastly better then my 10mb (to one server in chicago...not so much elsewhere) cable I have now. Moved about 5 miles last fall and I guess that put me on a different DSL hub, which couldnt support any more users so had to go cable. Fuck you Mediacom.

Lol. Charter is the predecessor to the cable company in question. |

My internet has decided to start working again. I know neither why nor for how long, but in the meantime, it's refreshing to be able to play games again. Though I doubt it'll still work tomorrow. |
