How fast is cable modem Internet service?
Cable modem Internet is many, many times faster than a phone line connection. Depending on which ISP you choose, your download speeds would range from 500 kilobits per second up to 6 megabits per second. What does that mean? For example, a phone Internet connection only runs at 50 kilobits per second. The slowest cable modem speed is up to 10 times as fast, while the 6 megabit speed is over 100 times as fast.
