I've always used cable Internet...now since recently moved...I'm shopping for options to my new home and want
player base opinion.

I can get cable int for 50 a month
I can get dsl for 40 a month.

(not sure which is the better deal...I'm locked to two options because of stupid local government
restrictions/authorizations of local service monopolizations to the above providers. )

What's your thoughts?

Fibre is something to look at. I think the speed was 5 m for cable and 3 for dsl.

In my area the cable offers 15mb/s which tops out at about 4mb/s during peak hours.
Cable is generally faster but everyone in your neighbour hood is on the same line so it's
for it to get bogged down in a busy area.

DSL is your phone line and doesn't slow down with use by others as each line is unique.

Personally I'd see if Fibre is available in your area.

What's the speeds on those?

I'd personally go with cable, as I find it more convenient.
