Cable is excellent (I also use Comcast), but there are possible security issues as you're on a "shared" network. This can also affect speed, downloads, uploads, etc. DSL is theoretically not as fast, but it's on a "dedicated" (phone) line and thus likely more secure, as I understand it. The proximity to that DSL "Central office" plays a big part on the speed here, as well.
I love my cable! :D

I use Comcast cable. Pretty fast but we've had a lot of downtime problems.
