Which is better, Cable Modems or xDSL Modems?
This is a long debated topic, but there is one major advantage that xDSL has over Cable Modems. Cable Modems use a shared networking technology, where all the cable modems share a single pipe to the Internet. This pipe speed will fluctuate depending on the number of subscribers on the network. When you use xDSL, the pipe to the Internet is “yours”, and is not shared along the way to the C/O or Central office. This allows a more consistent speed, and this speed does not typically fluctuate like Cable Modem networks.
