You may want to check with people in your area who have whatever DSL you'd be switching to. I know that we have cable, but I now wish we'd gone with DSL. People I know who live just down the block get far superior connections, all the time. The problem here seems to be that when the high speed internet craze started, the vast majority of people went to cable. So while cable speeds can theoretically get higher than the local DSL, it never happens. So I fluctuate between just a little slower and much slower. That being said, I have no major problems with my connections -- never as bad as you're describing.
So again, my advice would be to check with some people locally -- preferably someone in the same area with similar online habbits to your own, who happens to be on DSL. Based on that evidence, decide if it's worth the hassle amd cost of switching over.

"Life is sacred and you are not its steward. You have stewardship over it but you don't own it. You're making a choice to go through this, it's not just happening to you. You're inviting it, and in some ways delighting in it. It's not accidental or coincidental. You're choosing it. You have to realize you've made choices."
