I have had good results from Verizon DSL but its a YMMV thing...speed is directly related to the distance from your house to the Central office...closer is faster...

But its not shared bandwidth so you have it 24/7 cable modems are shared bandwidth so if you have a few neighbors who are like me sucking up the bandwidth 24/7 your throughput will be sucky...
