Within the
past few years, Internet access via cable modem has become available in many
residential areas. When configured properly and under optimal conditions, cable
has the capacity to transmit data at speeds as fast as DSL. In most cases, cable
does not compete with DSL in the business market due to cable lines not being
available in the vast majority of commercial districts. Residential cable modem
service can be a good value for high-speed access, but there are some
significant limitations for residential cable modem service. Cable is a shared
network, unlike DSL. DSL service from NorthEastCom.com offers a dedicated line
for each user.
