What are the differences between cable modem service and DSL?
Cable modem service delivers content directly to your personal computer via a cable connection, cable modem and customized software. A cable modem provides the tools a customer needs to participate fully in the online community at speeds that blow traditional dial-up modems away. DSL, or Digital Subscriber Line, is a modem technology that transforms ordinary phone lines into high-speed digital lines for fast Internet access. You must have a DSL modem and live within a certain distance of your telephone company’s central office to get DSL Internet service.
