> Yes, but DSL has better latencies than cable in most instances. With DSL you almost always have a max of 10 hops before your destination. With cable it is almost always 30+

How do cable networks have more hops then DSL thats routing/network topology issue.

latency would be high ping response times…

And the DSL vs Cable debate

What speed does cable advertise?

I think the highest residental speed you can around here for DSL is 3meg. Some places have 5meg and higher.
