How does that compare with DSL and cable modems?
These speeds are similar to what you would get from a competitively priced DSL or cable modem service. Most SOHO DSL is rated for 640kbps down, 64kbps up, but this is the maximum and the numbers drop the farther you are from your telephone company’s central office. Cable modem speeds can burst up to 1,000 or 2,000kbps, but their speed varies depending on how many people are online at the same time.
