Is there a difference in speed between cable 3.0 mbps and DSL 3.0 mbps?

I have cable at my house, tested as 1.5 mbps, using a speed checker online. When I play game online, everything is fine. But, at my apartment, I have DSL, tested as 3.0 mbps, which is supposedly faster....But, I can't play the same multiplayer game that I play at my house. The character disappears and reappear, even though the ping is fine...(maybe a little higher (slower))


i can't really figure out the cause...I didn't change anything on my computer as I switch (not firewall I guess)


Need advice from experts|||It could be that the DSL upload speed is very slow, or the line is noisy in one direction, causing retries and delays. Are these both tested while plugged in? It could be a router issye then - try resetting that router and see if that helps.|||Cable internet will always be better than adsl in my opinion.|||The only difference is in the way internet is delivered to you.
