  • I provider of the DSL line in question is actually AT&T. I was told by them, when I asked a similar question regarding congestion, they said that each customer actually is given a dedicated line thereby facilitating greater speed within the home based to a similar cable service that is not dedicated.

  • This is an old story, albeit partially true. Cable networks can be congested at peak hours, but only if your ISP has not built enough capacity. DSL can still be congested higher up in the infrastructure, so it's not a "dedicated link" to the internet either.
