Cable and T1 are comparable. with cable being faster usually.

T1 is 1.54 Mb down.

My cable is 3.8 Mb down,

Bro, you're so wrong it's not even funny.

Point #1:
Cable: Local connection is shared bandwidth.
T1: Dedicated

Point #2:
Cable: Distance from your provider may result is some degredation
T1: No degredation

Point #3:
Cable: Is asynchronous
T1: Is Synchronous

Point #4:
Cable: Unguaranteed bandwidth
T1: Guaranteed bandwidth



T-1 connects directly to an ISP POP (point of presence) and (if on a Tier I) directly to an IP backbone. A cable routes around the cable ring, to the cable office which then connects either to another cable office or to a T-1 then to an ISP POP and (if they are on a Tier I) directly to an IP backbone. (If you aren't on a Tier I for a T-1 in either application, you usually hit some sort of core router which eventually gets to another T-1 to an IP backbone, just increasing delay time). (Shared Bandwidth)

End Result: Network delay decreases performance by at least 2.5 times, making a 3 Mbps connection effectively around 1.2 compared to a 1.5 Mbps T-1.

Next, packet loss. Tier I T-1s usually loose less than 1 packet in 1000, meaning that you don't really ever resend information. Cable, subject to higher levels of electro-magnetic interference (ever have lightning affect your cable . . .) looses in some cases 5% or more of its packets, meaning you have to resend more information (thereby taking more time). Recent changes in cable tech has helped, but you normally still see a 2-3% drop-off rate as opposed to .1% on a T-1.

I didn't say cable was always faster just generaly. I see speeds of 3.8 on peak and off peak times, that is taking inot account the bandwith sharind.

Being syncronous or asyncronous doen't have anythng to do with your download speed, wich is what we are talking about.

Like I said I usually see 3.8 Mb no matther the time or day.

Packet loss etc, shouldn't affect cable enough to negate the diffrence.
