But cable is also a shared network connection, which means speed can fluctuate depending on how many neighbours are on-line. DSL is a dedicated link for each home or business, so the bandwidth available tends to be more stable, although it does vary depending on factors such as how far the customer is from the telco's central switch.

So the cable guys have a strong incentive to boost their overall throughput so that when multiple users go on and speed falls down, more people will be experiencing speeds close to what's initially promised.

Surtees added.
