Assuming your router supports it and assuming you are primarily browsing, not serving requests, you may want to try one of each. A low-end DSL and cable connection. The chances of both being flakey at the same moment are pretty low [in my experience] and your router should be able to detect fairly quickly if something is amiss. Then again, I have seen at least 50% of the instability-with-DSL complaints in the last 1 year be related to a bad OS on a router or just a bad router that flakes periodically. DJ Jeff Wheeler wrote:

I'm getting somewhat frustrated with the instability and high latency of residential cable and DSL offerings, but I love the T1 or greater bandwidth they offer. I'd like reasonable bandwidth with low latency without spending hundreds of dollars per month!
