On other factor to add in is the quality of the phone lines. If you have
relatively new phone lines all the way to the phone company, you will have
better reliability than older lines.

DSL reliability depends on the vendor, mostly.  Some vendors have their
heads on straight, don't oversell the market, and generally have a clue.
Others, not so good.

When I use my cable internet (1500/128) to connect to our corporate VPN (and
the iSeries through that), I can expect about 90% reliability.

When I am using my DSL (512/512) to connect to various services (including
netshare400), I get 99.9% reliability.

The cable internet is through AT&T, the DSL is through QWEST.
