How Does GWI Broadband Compare to Cable Modems?
Some major advantages of GWI Broadband over cable include: GWI Broadband provides you with a dedicated service over a single phone line, whereas cable modems give you access over shared cable lines. While cable modems may initially provide greater downstream bandwidth capabilities, that bandwidth is shared amongst all users on a line. This means that cable modem speeds can vary dramatically as more users in your neighborhood get online simultaneously, and will in many cases be slower than GWI Broadband. Since your GWI Broadband line is dedicated to you, your speeds are not affected by others going online. Because GWI Broadband uses a dedicated line, your data is more secure than data sent over cable modems.
