I've heard (don't remember where) that typical latency for cable network
providers (which comcast is) is [much?] higher than latency for DSL, even
though overall data throughput may be higher for cable than for DSL. This
probably is soooo outdated (if at all true). Does somebody knows the truth
and could shed some light onto what is better...
