Over All Review of DSL vs. Cable vs. Fiber
Unfortunately, DSL maybe your only option if cable or fiber is unavailable.
Wireless point to point internet service providers do offer service in rural areas where fiber, cable or DSL is not available. However in most cases a point to point connection is only up to a 56k connection speed which is comparable to dial up. DSL is best for rural customers who otherwise would be stuck with satellite or dial up internet.

Cable internet service is the best choice for people who don’t have access to fiber. Cable internet is still the most commonly used since it is available nationwide.

Fiber will always be the FASTEST internet service provider. Although Fiber Internet Service maybe one EVERYONE'S Wish list, unfortunately it not always available. Fiber is the best option for heavy internet users. Fiber is growing on a global rate and will continue to grow to the point that it will be just as available as cable internet.
