No, JPT cannot be used with these types of modems. JPT can only be used with traditional analog modems (such as the built-in modems that ship with most Macintosh computers) or with Bluetooth mobile phones.

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.

Make sure that you enable IPSec and PPTP in your hardware device or software configuration. Please, consult the manual of your firewall or router.

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.

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.

These models are designed to work with an external internet connetion, such as a an external ADSL or cable modem, and so are ideal for using with a Telstra Bigpond or Optus cable service, using the cable modem supplied by Bigpond/Optus. Please see the WAN FAQ. The DrayTek Vigor models which have a built-in ADSL modem are hardcoded to apply router, firewall and VPN to the ADSL interface (and ISDN interface, if included).

If you plan on connecting only one computer to your DSL connection, a DSL modem will simplify the installation procedure. Use a DSL router connected to an Ethernet switch or an Ethernet hub. Ethernet switches and hubs are often called network switches and hubs. Click here for an example. Use a DSL modem connected to a Cable/DSL router. Cable/DSL routers are basically Ethernet switches (or wireless gateways) with routing functionality built-in, but still lacking an actual ADSL port.

No, at this time you need to use a modem that is compatible with Tusco.Net's and the phone company's DSL equipment. If you want to use a modem from another source, please check with us first to determine compatibility.

The UniTV Service routes voice and video data alongside local network data. Thus, you can enjoy our services and use your computer to access the Internet at the same time. UniTV Service uses advanced audio and video compression techniques to minimize the data traffic necessary to deliver its services and maximize available bandwidth for your other needs. We recommend, however, that you limit downlink usage (e.g.

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.

In most cases, the wireless service is faster than DSL or cable connections. Please take a look at our speed and price chart for a comparison. (return to top)
