How does Wireless Internet compare to Cable modems?

First, the cable network is shared, which means as the number of cable users increases the speed on each individual’s line decreases. Second, a shared network is inherently less secure than a dedicated service like Wireless Internet, as neighboring cable customers can more easily intercept data or hack into another user’s computer. Third, the upstream speed on a cable modem is generally no higher than 128 Kbps. Thus, cable modems are unable to provide acceptable levels of speed or security for business purposes. How does Wireless Internet compare to a T-1 line? T-1 lines provide access speeds of 1.544 Mbps. The decision between Wireless Internet and T-1 access when Wireless Internet is readily available is a straightforward one due to pricing. Normally, for the same high bandwidth access, a business will pay significantly more every month for a T-1 line than it would for Wire
