Which is, ironically, far faster than my connection, so I don't see what you're complaining about. :P

The big thing about DSL to remember is that it's a party line. Wiki this if you don't know what I'm talking about, but in short, there's typically a lot of overselling. Let's say that your block has 20 houses, and each house has a 10 Mbit plan. The line can only support 100MBit at any given time, so therefore, the maximum possible speed that it would require, 200Mbit, would not be realized.
Heh, cable is oversold here a lot more than DSL. If I'm correct, can't find the source, Cable is oversold 1:100-1:150 here, and DSL is 1:10-1:25. That said, I always get 100% of my 20Mbit DSL connection here. But my friend who lives near me, who has cable, sees he's speeds plummet in the evening.

Cable's shared...so I think that'd be the cause there :P

I was lucky enough to live in a more "rural" area, so I didn't see much bandwidth issues.

His uni ISP is horrible. That's his home. I've used his home connection, and it's great.
