Good point - I probably should have clarified that I am planning to run a web server in the near future. I know this means getting a static IP address and all that fun stuff... meaning I have to either upgrade my cable-modem service from residential to business, or get DSL.
I was looking for opinions on which technology might be more reliable and better value for the money, as I have no experience with DSL. I've priced it out, though, and I think I will soon be getting experience with DSL...
