Unlike traditional dial-up Internet access that utilizes a telephone line, cable modems use your television’s cable line. Access is also many times faster than traditional dial-up.

High-speed/broadband Internet access refers to speeds that meet or exceed 300kbps. As a comparison, typical dial-up speeds range from 28.8kbps to 56kbps. This is a timesaving tool that allows you to work faster on the Internet. At www.toast.net there is a comparison chart that shows the maximum download speeds for the Internet access types.
