Upload speed of cable is usually much higher. I do a lot of FTPing to my servers so this is a big deal.
This is another good site to check around at.

I have Satellite for TV but keep basic cable with my cable modem for a backup, like during a hurricane.
I have been thinking of also getting cheap DSL for a backup in case my cable goes down.
When I'm on the road I find a place with WiFi like the hotel I'm in or a coffee shop.
What is this thing called dialup?
