Nope No difference to me.
Been using Comcast cable for 4 years and when I moved out of the apartments I was in my connectivity was so so much better. I rent a house now and my connectivity is stable. Allthough once I had to have to cable guy come out and redo the splitter from my house to across the street to where I was tee'd off at.
During the day when the cable heated up I would loose connectivity and at night when things cooled off connectivity was fine.
Different geo areas including neighbothoods, service providers, and the alignment of the stars have a lot to do with it.
Allthough topology's to how things are setup are not available to the public. You are at the service providers mercy unless you are a buisness and have a direct T1 Line and pay $600.00 a month for it.
Or 100mb Ethernet that my company pays $800.00 a month for.

You are not at the service provider's mercy if you have DSL. Cable internet is shared bandwidth, DSL is not. If a lot of people in you neighborhood have cable internet, you will notice a slowdown during prime times (evenings, weekends, particularly friday night!)
DSL does not suffer from this no matter how many subscribers there are in the area.

I know, that's the theory at least. In practice, whatever the providers do (grossly oversubscribe their bandwidth, perhaps), I regularly get DSL hiccups around 18:00-20:00 or so after people get home from work. It also happens during the day on weekends more than on weekdays.
So, the last mile may be switched, but the provider may still be overloaded on the back end.
