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.

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.

Cable Internet uses your Cable TV line, and you would be able to disconnect all your current phone services if you would like to use Viper Services exclusively for your local and long distance calling. B) DSL connection uses a local phone line that must be maintained by your local phone provider.

DSL provides always-on high-speed Internet access over a single dedicated telephone line; cable modems offer always-on high-speed Internet access over a shared cable television line. While cable modems have greater downstream bandwidth capabilities, that bandwidth is shared among all users in a neighbourhood, and will therefore vary, perhaps dramatically, as more users in a neighbourhood get online at the same time.

Although they are both 'broadband', cable internet and DSL are different. Cable uses the high-capacity pay television infrastructures rolled out by Telstra and Optus a few years ago. DSL uses the existing copper telephone infrastructure to deliver high speed broadband via technology installed at your local exchange.

DSL high speed Internet service is delivered through a standard phone line. Cable broadband is delivered through a cable line. Truthfully, both are equally fast and reliable. However, cable broadband is shared-line technology, which means that the line is generally less secure and can experience "traffic jams" that may affect speed when everyone in a neighborhood is online at once.

Dluxlink's wireless is comparable to DSL or cable modems without the need for cable installations to your home or office.

Cable is a shared medium so gets slower as more users are connected. DSL is not shared. It is a 1 to 1 subscription up to the POA. (Point of aggregation.) Our service allows for better security and is provided using a dedicated, preconfigured router (recommended) instead of a card or modem plugged directly into a computer that relies on installed software to function.

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.

Although both cable modems and DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) are broadband technologies, there are many differences. DSL is a telephone modem technology that runs though traditional copper wiring. It uses the telephone line to carry digital data to and from you computer to the Internet, but in order for the DSL signal to work, the copper wire must be less than 13,000 feet away from the Telephone Company's central office.

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.

The difference between the three high speed Internet services are how you, the user, connects to the Internet. DSL uses the phone lines but you must be within 18,000 feet from the co-location facility to receive the service and have an active phone line. Cable modem uses the existing Cable TV lines to deliver its broadband service. Availability is to limited areas and the service is a shared connection, thus speeds can slow down when a lot of people in the same neighborhood are online.

A Straight-Through Ethernet cable connects your MediaMVP to your computer through a Hub, Switch or a Router. Both the MediaMVP and the computer must be connected to the same Hub, Switch or Router.

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.

Unlike DSL or Cable Modem, our service does not depend on telephone or cable TV infrastructure. This enables Phoenix Internet to reach many neighborhoods where DSL and Cable Modem are unable or unwilling to go. Our service plans offer performance comparable to DSL and Cable Modem, but with some important differences. Superior customer service because we are a local company and can be at your location within hours if necessary.

DSL provides a dedicated service over a single telephone line. Cable modems offer a shared service over a cable network. Customers have the opportunity to choose a package and speed that match their needs. There are more packaging choices available with DSL, including services that a business may desire such as static IP addresses.

Cable companies provide television, music, data and other services over the same cable loop in your neighborhood. There is a limited amount of bandwidth available on these neighborhood nodes which can service a large number of homes and businesses. This means that if a neighbor or nearby business is using a lot of bandwidth, it is possible that there would be little left for the rest of the customers on that node which would result in very poor performance.
