DSL is typically an asymetric offering, with higher download speeds than upload speeds. Typical download speeds are 512kbps - 1.54Mbps and typical upload speeds are 128kbps - 512kbps. Cable modems are also asymetric, with similar upload speeds to that of DSL. The download speeds are often higher, ranging up to 3Mbps in many cases. It really depends on what the local DSL & Cable providers are selling, however.

Sure, you could do that, but it's not a good idea for several reasons. First, a vast majority of ISPs won't let you legally use a residential cable modem or a DSL line to host a public server. You would have to get a more expensive business package. Second, ADSL and cable lines usually have lower upstream bandwidth than downstream bandwidth, so your site may appear to be sluggish under heavy traffic. Third, DSL and cable lines have a much lower reliability than dedicated T1 or better lines.

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. The price for DSL or cable modem is significantly higher than MegaSPEED Accelerator. In addition to the higher price, many areas simply do not have DSL or cable Internet service available.

i. Webopedia defines this Broadband as ? "A type of data transmission in which a single medium (wire) can carry several channels at once. ii. There are several forms of DSL service ? ADSL being the most popular in the consumer or home market. ADSL refers to asynchronous DSL where the download speed differs from the upload or upstream transmission rate. iii.

The rule of thumb is the faster the better. You can download shows from umlive.net on a dial-up modem, but it may take about 12 hours or more for one show in standard MP3 format. On a cable modem or DSL it typically takes between 15 minutes to a half-hour to download a show in MP3 format.

A cable modem is an electronic adapter that permits a personal computer to receive Internet data from the high-speed information resources of a cable television system. Cable modems permit personal computers to receive Internet information at rates of up to hundreds of times faster than typical, consumer market telephone modems. A cable modem attaches to a personal computer through a network interface card (NIC) installed inside the computer.

Yes. All Motorola SURFboard cable modems are built to comply with the Data-Over-Cable-System-Interface-Specification (DOCSIS®) interoperability standard. Click here for more information about DOCSIS® from Cable Television Laboratories, Inc. (CableLabs®). In fact, Motorola received its first CableLabs® certification in May 1999.

The main difference between cable modem and DSL technology is the network underlying the service. DSL service uses the public telephone network for transmission while cable modems use a completely separate broadband, high-speed network. Telephone solutions tend to degrade and slow down the further away your home is from the telephone company's central office.
