Internet Providers
During the last year the city has been working with a variety of businesses trying to get high speed Internet access to Hobart. As this process continued with little success both Cableone and Southwestern Bell came to the rescue each offering high speed Internet access. While these offerings give Hobart residents and businesses excellent choices there are also dial-up providers for those not wanting to make the jump to broadband.

This is certainly a valid question asked by most people looking for high speed home and small business Internet connections. Depending on who you ask, you will get very different stories. There is no shortage of both horror stories and praise for both technologies. And that, unfortunately, is the answer - neither Cable nor DSL is better all the time. It depends completely on your local provider.
As a consumer shopping for a connection your best bet is to talk to people in your area who own the connections you're considering. Experiences vary not only from city to city but even inside the city and inside the same provider. In addition to transmission speed you should consider price, installation time, and customer support, all factors that depend on the ISPs, not the technology.
