I wouldn't recommend cable for the pure fact that you are sharing the cable line with everyone on your block. Kiddie MP3 trader guys will sap your bandwidth but malicious hacker #434 can sniff anything on that line. As for DSL, you (unfortunately) should stick with the local phone monopoly. They usually suck but they are the only company who can repair lines and actual deal with -real- issues. A reseller of DSL can only report actual problems to the local phone RBOC/monopoly and if the problemn isn't effecting their actual customers they might just take their sweet time. Barring everything else, if you'd like a Linux/server-friendly and reasonable DSL provider check out <www.speakeasy.net>.
