Hurlshort Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Not everyone has or wants cable, satellite providers like Dish and DirectTV offer better prices for more channels. So if you don't want cable, your only choice is DSL.
Humodour Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 You can get the Internet through a TV cable? Wow.
taks Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Is there any reason why one is better than the other? yes, at least, it's sort of complicated. DSL variants operate over existing twisted pair telephone lines and associated infrastructure. the VDSL standards actually offers higher bandwidth potential than cable but the rate deteriorates quickly as the distance increases between the subscriber and source station. at any rate, most places that have either system available, the cable system offers higher data rates. i think i get 6 Mb/s through comcast's cable service, but i would be limited to 1.5-2 Mb/s through qwest's DSL service. cable also tends to have higher up capability than DSL, though they all tend cap they up rate anyway. taks comrade taks... just because.
