Yep, wiring is the main problem. The SNR goes to shit with old wires. Either the DSL ISP severely reduces the data rate in your neighboorhood/house or you will bitch about your connection dropping all the time. I would assume coax is a little bit sturdier than phone wire, so cable shouldn't have as many problems as DSL.
It took me 6 months to convince att to start replacing phone lines (after they noise tested every node between my house and their substation a mile away), and the one that was fucked up was the underground line between the routing box in the house. Of course, it was a 200ft line that had to be dug underneath the driveway, but thankfully that fixed it.
Threading cables through walls isn't hard.
