You have it backwards by the way - advatages of DSL = guaranteed bandwidth + lower latency (better for online games) than cable. Cable = faster, but it is a shared pipe. Friend of mine is supposed to get 8 mbps on his cable with bursts to 12 mbit per sec, but he tested it last weekend and it is so saturated that he was posting 1.2 mbps!!!
Doesn't matter anyway, since even when it is running at top speed, I still get lower latency which gives me better ping times by at least 10 ms + regardless that my speed is half of his. I have the same up though and I have a guaranteed 768k up at all times.

Yeah weekends on broadband can be slow, that and you can usually tell by the slowdown in the afternoon when the kiddies get home from school and all log on nearly at once.
