Which Is Better, Cable Or Dsl

September 26th, 2008 by admin

So the two types of internet connections continue to duke it out in the open market. Dsl and cable modem internet connections, but what are the real differences. In truth, not too much. Cable modems carry an internet connection through the standard coaxial cable that carries your tv signal. Dsl is piggy backed on your phone lines. in terms of speed there isn’t much of a difference between a cable modem connection or a Dsl upgrade connection. Some benefits of cable is that because it has been around longer than Dsl it is easier to get. However, running a wireless network is often times a no no whereas with Dsl it seems to be okay.  There is also technology involved, and for some, a gt701 upgrade makes sense.  There are many options available for DSL modems, and sometimes your Internet Service Provider (DSL) has a contact with a specific manufacturer like Westell or Lucent and will provide you with one of those.
