Question: What are the advantages / disadvantages of DSL vs Cable?

I decided yesterday to dump Charter cable Internet access in favor of
a DSL provider. I don't know the advantages / disadvantages of DSL
vs. Cable but I will find out.

The highly discounted DSL isn't available in my area so I am paying
more than what most people would for the first year: $30 for 4M / sec
transfer (I think that it's meg, maybe something else) plus $5 because
I don't have a land line.

Still, it's less than what I am paying for Charter cable.
