MaxOnline works through cable modems that are connected to the StarHub broadband network which is a hybrid-fibre-coaxial network. Dial-up modems work through phone lines for connectivity to the Internet. Also, while dial-up modems have a maximum speed of 56Kbps, DOCSIS 3.0 and DOCSIS 1.1 cable modems are capable of broadband speeds of up to 100,000Kbps and 32,000Kbps respectively.
