DSL vs Cable latency
- by tovmeod
currently I have a 10Mbps DSL line and I'm thinking to switch to a cable since they got 100Mbps for a little less than double the price I'm paying for 10Mbps.
In other words the cable company is offering 100Mbps for the price of 20Mbps DSL.
Since 10Mbps is more than enough for me I am worried about the latency, I saw this that is just a guy experiment, that shows that cable and DSL are the same in practical terms, and this but I couldn't grasp it, not sure if it is helpful.
So my question is if there's any practical difference between cable and DSL, mainly in latency terms but I would be also interested in other advantages/disadvantages.
This is for my home connection, I work from home but I don't run any server, I most of the time code, skype and eventually game.
