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.

You could use your connection at home to host your website if you really wanted to.

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.

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.

You should check with your alarm system provider for advice on this question. At a mininum, and if you have no other option, you should use your alarm system in combination with a LOW PASS FREQUENCY FILTER.

The rule of thumb is the faster the better. You can download albums from Quinlan Road on a dial-up modem, but it may take up to 12 hours. We recommend against FLAC downloads by dial-up.

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.
