In some small communities, only one Internet provider and cable television provider is available, thus giving the provider a monopoly in that area.
Satellite TV is better only in some cases. It is better in areas that have no cable service or have very limited cable selection. In some major areas with cable carrier competition, satellite is actually more expensive than cable. Satellite TV is a great choice for those in rural areas. This is because cable has a limited reach because of isntallition issues.
Internet service is provided in several manners: dialup (typically slow), DSL (requires a phone line and only available in some areas), cable (requires a cable connection) or satellite (has large latency) - Your best option is DSL - check with your phone line provider to see if DSL is available at your location.
ADSL is a type of broadband connection. Do you get your internet service through a cable provider or a phone provider? If it's a phone provider, you have some type of DSL.
This depends on the area in which you live. In some areas satellite will be your only option. The one advantage that digital cable has is that it is not as affected by weather like the satallites are.
It should differ on where you live, and what cable provider you have. I know some channels differ on what cable provider that you have. It was always confusing for me at first.
There are countless cable TV providers available to you. Some of the more popular cable TV providers are Comcast and Verizon. For Providers in your area visit: http://www.allconnect.com/sc-tv/television-tv.html
If you want to purchase cable TV for your home, I would suggest you sign up for Time Warner Cable or Comcast Digital Cable. They have some very awesome channels for you to watch.
The purpose of cable TV is not to eliminate commercial advertisement, but to provide more channels with better reception than you can get by means of a TV antenna. Cable started initially by providing regular broadcast television to areas with poor reception. As cable became more widespread, cable-only channels were added, some commercial-free fee-based ones, and some commercial channels. If you check your cable guide, you will find that MANY of the cable-only channels have commericials.
Some cable companies restrict the modems it allows their customers to use. Check with your cable provider. If yours is OK, the provider may ask for the hardware address or "MAC" address of your modem so that it can be programmed into their system. Once all this is set up, just screw the cable into the modem and power it up. There are other things that could go wrong, but the cable provider should provide free technical support.
