The advantage of our system over DSL or Cable is that the Internet is broadcast wireless to your home. This especially benefits rural customers who can not get wired service.

There are two issues to consider. The first is the technology itself. At the present state of the technology, DSL can be over 3 times faster than Cable Modem technology. Also, there's a catch with cable modem technology. Cable is delivered in a loop topology. This means that the same piece of cable is used to provide service to many subscribers in a neighborhood. As a result, the actual bandwidth available to each individual subscriber deteriorates as additional subscribers use the service.

FastAccess Business DSL runs over your existing telephone line and provides you with a dedicated connection between your business and our network. No other users share your connection. Users of cable modems, on the other hand, share connections with other cable modem subscribers, rather than having a dedicated connection.

Because only one in seven businesses are wired for cable today, high-speed Internet access via cable modems is largely used by residential customers. Currently, cable modems service can deliver speeds up to 10mb downstream, depending upon the number of subscribers. However, cable-modems services are set up like an Ethernet LAN, with users throughout the neighborhood sharing bandwidth.

MegaSPEED is an affordable software-only solution designed to significantly enhance Web access over low-speed (less than 200 kbps/second) connections. By contrast, DSL and cable modems provide high-speed Internet connectivity using hardware solutions that work with special telephone or cable lines.

In most cases, no. Some graduate residences may have existing coaxial cable infrastructure (for cable TV), which will allow them to subscribe for cable modem service at their discretion. Fraternities, sororities, and co-ops, particularly those which are privately-owned, may also have existing cable TV or non-Cornell phone service which could support cable modem or DSL.

with any internet connection your provider is sharing access (bandwidth) with all of it's customers, so your most limiting factor is the amount of bandwidth the ISP has, Cable and DSL charge enticingly low rates for what they call "high speed access", which might seem like a good thing, but charging so little means there is not enough money coming in to provide the bandwidth needed for your customers, so typically you will find your connection slows drastically when other people are using it hea.

Neither DSL or Cable is better all the time under all conditions. The data transfer rates you can get from either DSL or Cable will depend entirely on whatever local providers are in your area.

For Cable Internet, connection speeds can be affected by the amount of Internet use in your particular neighborhood.

The two-way satellite service will provide an always-on connection to the Internet with various data transfer speeds and price points to satisfy a wide range of user requirements.

Our aim is to provide you a superior and untethered service for a lower cost. Upload speeds, especially, should be notably faster.

There are several methods for computer connection, but it appears that Ethernet 10BaseT is emerging as the most predominant method. Although it probably would be cheaper to produce the cable modem as an internal card for the computer, this would require different printed-circuit cards for different kinds of computers, and additionally would make the demarcation between cable network and the subscriber's computer too fuzzy.

The fact that the word "modem" is used to describe this device can be a little misleading only in that it conjures up images of a typical telephone dial-up modem. Yes, it is a modem in the true sense of the word - it Modulates and Demodulates signals. But the similarity ends there because cable modems are practically an order of magnitude more complicated than their telephone counterparts.
