Ya, but it's bullshit. On average I get much higher speeds on cable than on DSL. When DSL is advertized at a certain speed, you won't always get even a quarter of that speed. Your DSL line connects to some base station that has a bottleneck connection to the rest of the internet, so that in effect you're still sharing a limited amount of bandwidth with the neighborhood.

This was when DSL and cable were new, and dial-up was still popular.
