Call up your cable company(look in the phone book if you don't use cable) and phone company to compare service and prices. Because the ISPs are state-sponsored monopolies, there are rarely more than 2 providers in a single area; any other providers you see advertised are usually resellers.
Cable starts out faster, but the more people who use it in your area, the slower it is. In my experience it's also less reliable. DSL starts out slower, but is always at a steady speed, and it's more reliable.
If you do live in the middle of nowhere, you can get satellite internet, which is crazy expensive and slower than DSL or cable. Search:
