Snuff · **DSL vs. Broadband -** 07-26-2004, 06:52 PM

I know this is a noobish question, but could someone break down the major differences between dsl vs. broadband. Ever since I've been gaming for the last few years, I have always had cable. I am building a house that does not have cable at this time in that area. I am able to get dsl via SBC.

My current isp offers high or low speed cable. Is there different speeds with dsl?
Will my IP be static?
Will I still be able to game with decent pings ect?
Any other info appreciated.

I've been planing on a major cpu upgrade, but it would be a waste if I am unable to online game.
