The key words with ADSL are "up to". I can only get a max of 5.5Mbsp here, whereas with cable I can get... well, whatever I can get (currently 10, soon to be 20). Of course, cable is also "up to" some of the time (like the 16/20Mbps thing), but the technology (and having only 1 company involved) seems to make it much more stable.
I;d never touch ADSL because I work for a company who deal with it 
Still on 10Mbps in Teesside  |
Agreed, I live in east cleveland, and no-one around here would even consider ADSL in any form, unless ntl killed your family.
Also still 10Mbps.

..or 20Mbps, with no throttling and no speed drops or being shaped because out here P2P is some weird oldy swinging abbreviation!!
I'll shut up now and remember that people live in high density with other people!
