Frj's Cable Modems

Back to home page

There is something new in how you connect to the net.  Cable modems promise almost T1 speed to the desktop.

A cable modem will almost always receive data at least ten times as fast as a regular 56k modem.  Cable Internet access is also nice because you never need to dial out.  As long as your computer is on, you are always logged into the Net.

In most cases, cable modems are a better deal, but they're not available everywhere.  You can't just go out and buy a cable modem.  You have to get your cable company to offer the service, and most don't because it requires expensive upgrades on their part.
