Xecunet DSL provides high-speed internet access directly to you over your telephone line, whereas cable modem offers high-speed internet access over a cable television line which means the bandwidth would be shared with everyone in the local loop. This then means that cable-modem access may slow down if there are too many people using it. See similar questions...

EarthLink DSL offers high-speed access over your phone line; EarthLink Cable uses a cable TV line. DSL offers instant connections of up to 3.0Mbps, which is 70X faster than regular dial-up*; Standard Cable offers a 5.0Mbps connection, which is more than 100x faster than regular dial-up*; Premium Cable offers an 8.0Mbps connection, which is nearly 200x faster than regular dial-up.* There's no waiting or dialing in with either, and you're free to use your phone and the Internet at the same time.

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 Federal Communication Commission in its biannual report last year placed Broadband in the United States as having 16.2 millions lines. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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.

Our service is up to eight times faster than 256K DSL and nearly twice as fast as most cable. DSL and cable modem upload speeds can be much slower (128-384Kbps) than the download speeds (512Kbps-4Mbps). With our service your download and upload speeds are the same. For example, if you subscribe to our Residental Plus service you get a Asymmetrical, 384/512Kbps sustained service - download and upload, with downloads bursting to between 3Mbps and 7Mbps and uploads up to 1.5Mbps.

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. See similar questions...

Cable modems are generally for personal home use, while DSL service spans both home users and it is also a business-class solution. With cable modems, bandwidth is shared by users connected to the same node which means that greater the number of people connected, the slower your access becomes. With DSL service, your link is connected directly to the CO (Exchange) and from there to the Internet or local backbone and so your bandwidth is not shared in the last mile. See similar questions...

A modem converts your computers data packets into an analogue signal (sounds a bit like a fax machine) and uses the normal telephone network to pass this to your ISP (Internet Service Provider) who then turns the signal back into data and thus enabling your computer to communicate on the Internet. ISDN also uses the telephone network to transmit data to the ISP but does not convert the data to analogue signals; instead it uses digital equipment at the exchange and on your computer.

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.

The shared-network nature of the cable modem technology is a large security risk since their traffic is easily intercepted by anyone else in their area. A cable modem can require extensive premises and drop cable rewiring and is easily overloaded due to shared upstream channels with more cable modem users in your area. See similar questions...

Yes, CallWave works with either a Cable Modem or DSL. Using CallWave with a Cable Modem or DSL makes your Internet act like a second phone line. When talking on the phone, any calls that come in are routed through your "always-on" Internet connection to your PC. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...
