Ive had both dsl and cable, ive personally had less problems with my connection through dsl.
But I also know a lot of people that love cable and will not switch to dsl.
Either way, I think you will be happy, especially if you are coming from a dialup connection.

One thing about cable is that each area, like your block, will share a line with X amount of bandwith. If you're the only one on it, you get it all. If your neighbor gets on, you each get half. Eventually you're only getting a tiny bit of the whole pipe to send and receive data.
HOWEVER....I had cable internet for about a year when all we had were cell phones and didn't have much trouble. We switched to DSL to get it cheaper.
They're both fast...I think DSL in my neighborhood is a bit more "stable".
