Besides that DSL can't transmit more than a few megabits of information at once while cable (and even more so fiber optic) can move upwards of 10 megabits. Also even though fiber optics is less available, it usually costs less anyways. I'd imagine this is a strategy to offset cable domination.

And you don't have to be such a jerk just because you don't like something I suggest. The idea is to suggest a lot of things so the person asking the question can decide what their options are.
I didn't care what you suggested, The fact you were biased about it was what ticked me. DSL can only push a few megabits? Actually most DSL companys offer 6-12mbs connections by giving you two or more adsl2+ (?) ports. Also DSL will offer fiber optic lines in the near future : ) Don't you worry ^^
