Connection Speed and Bandwidth
are generally the most important considerations when comparing Internet
providers. Today’s cable modem capabilities generally surpass DSL speeds by
a wide margin. In addition, you can also receive Cable TV service with your
cable provider:
"A huge amount of TV is available on a
Basic Cable service, the new TV’s now have an NTSC (Analog), ATSC (Digital),
QAM (Cable) tuners built-in, receiving a wide range of broadcasts for little
cost."
A good deal, BUT ...
Cable will theoretically run faster
than DSL, but several technical and business reasons can reduce or even
eliminate this advantage.
Bottom Line - because of these
variances DSL and the cable modem might have the advantage at different
times. An overview of both technologies will clearly show the advantages and
disadvantages of both.
