Cat6 cable is the very best. There is a Cat7 in the works but it is not yet readily available and the connector is different. So if you get Cat6 you have the very best available that will work on most everything. Coax DSL cable is superior but mainly used in industrial applications. A Cat6 shielded cable is also quite effective. In a pinch i have run two Cat6 side by side and punched the blue and orange of the first and the green and brown of the second cable on a single jack. This prevents crosstalk thus data loss. The Cat7 cable is a joke. It does not use an rj45 and is heavily shielded as to almost make it impractical.

Because most office buildings are not wired with coaxial cable

minicomputer are smaller than mainframe general purpose computer, and give computing power without adding the prohibitive expenses associated with larger systems.

microcomputers are even smaller than minicomputers. the computer you are using to read this is almost certainly a microcomputer.

yes it is illegal and depends on the kind of person but it is not a formal

You can not connect a DSL modem/Router to a Cable modem the are two completely different devices.

Basically one speaks English the other speaks Mandarin and neither has Rosetta Stone.

It all really depends on which phone company you have that is offering you the DSL. To my knowledge, the fastest satellite Internet connection is 12mBit/s, which is approximately 1 - 1.5 mByte/s. DSL is usually anywhere from 1.5mBit/s to 10mBit/sec. As said before, it is suggested that you check out the website of your local phone company to determine what packages they offer.

Cable modem connects through fibre optic DLS through phone line. Cable boasts faster speed than DSL Internet in theory. However, cable does not always deliver on the promise in everyday practical use. Cable modem services can slow down significantly if many people in your neighborhood access the Internet simultaenously. Both cable modem and DSL performance vary from one minute to the next depending on the pattern of use and traffic congestion on the Internet. DSL and cable Internet providers often implement so-called "speed caps" that limit the bandwidth of their services. Some home networks cannot match the speed of the Internet connection, lowering your performance

DSL stands for digital subscriber line. DSL providers use the technology to provide high speed access to the internet.

DSL works through the use of telephone lines. However, unlike dial-up internet, the previous option available, DSL can be used at the same time as the telephone. This is possible because the DSL and the telephone signals use different parts of the same copper line.

This can be accomplished because both signals go through the line at different frequencies. The information sent back and forth through the line for the DSL internet access will use a high frequency. Alternatively, the information sent through the line for phone calls will use a low frequency. This way the frequencies do not intermix, causing neither to fail while they are being sent at the same time.

This was a massive improvement over the previous “dial-up” technology that did not allow phone calls to be made at the same time the internet was being accessed. DSL was also a massive improvement compared to dial-up in terms of download speed. DSL download speeds can range from one megabyte per second to three megabytes per second. Dial-up, on the other hand, can be as slow as fifty six kilobytes per second. That’s a big difference.

The speed of DSL internet is also maximized by the fact that downloads and uploads are sent through different parts of the cable. The space in a telephone cable will allow for both upload and download signals to be sent down the cable in both directions at once. However, the space generally allowed for downloads is much larger than the space used for uploads. This is because most web surfers generally use their internet service more for downloading than uploading. Clicking on internet links, for example, takes up very little upload bandwidth space.

These kinds of lines where the download speed is much great than the upload speed are known as ADSL lines. However, for people who need much higher upload speeds, there is the option of using SDSL lines. SDSL lines are DSL lines that have the same quick speed for both downloading and uploading files

While DSL has many great attributes, cable internet may actually be faster in most cases. However, cable internet is not available everywhere, making DSL providers the choice used by millions of internet subscribers.

There are 5

This depends on what light is blinking and what type of DSL modem you are using. If you are having problems connecting to the Internet via your modem during the blinking phenomena you will want to reset your modem. This is usually done by pushing a small button on the back of your modem or sticking a pin into the small hole in the back where the button is housed within.

Look up your specific modem make and model online and do a search query for the users manual. Many manufacturers have PDF documentation online.

the information travels faster , dsl travels in a line and depending on where your transfer station is for dsl so yes satellite is faster goes direct into your cable. The main advantage that satellite Internet service has over DSL is that satellite Internet is available virtually anywhere in the US even in rural areas where DSL and Cable don't reach. Generally, satellite Internet service beats cable or DSL Internet when DSL or cable Internet is NOT AN OPTION. Cable or DSL access is almost always cheaper (less expensive) than satellite Internet, but not always faster.

Metro PCS does not have a specific email for customer service. Email is not one of the options to speak with someone for customer service at this time. You can go into your local Metro PCS store, or you can contact customer service at 1-800-901-6266.

2Wire, Inc. was founded in 1998. This company produced hardware and software for the telecommunications industry. The company was purchased by Pace of the United Kingdom in 2010. 2Wire modems can still be purchased on eBay but are no longer in production.

Answer: Sometimes

There are many different packages available for cable and DSL. A high-dollar DSL connection is probably going to be much faster than the penny-pinchers cable modem.

Having said that, it has been my personal experience that a cable connection is usually a little faster than a similarly priced DSL connection.

You should be able to.

A modem, which you normally get from the DSL provider, is really the only thing you need (apart from a computer).

But it is recommended to get a home router/firewall as well, it gives basic protection against computer attacks from the internet and lets you hook up a second computer to the same DSL connection.

No, a cable modem cannot be used for an ADSL connection. Cable modems are designed to work with cable internet services, which use coaxial cables, while ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) requires a DSL modem that connects via telephone lines. Each type of modem is specifically engineered for its respective technology, making them incompatible with each other.

DSL refers to a type of connection and broadband refers to an internet service. You can purchase a modem and a router independently, however many internet service providers prefer to provide you with one.

The MAC address (Media Access Control) is used to identify a specific piece of network hardware, such as a network interface card (NIC), a router or a modem. Since your ISP will only wish to allow Internet access to paying customers, it can check the MAC address of your router against its list to see if it belongs to a valid customer. If you change your equipment, typically, your ISP will provide you with a process to register the new hardware's MAC address with them.

There used to be the disadvantage of requiring phone service to a phone line before acquiring DSL services, however that is no longer a prerequisite for most carriers. The current challenge for DSL is the last mile of service which requires a close proximity to the carrier premises for signaling to be proficient enough for high speed Internet access. Typically, the further from the fiber optic network, the weaker the signals. Most last mile connections run over copper wire and can be too far from that fiber optic line for decent connectivity.

Dial up uses audio frequency tones to deliver data. 0 to 4000 Hertz

DSL uses higher frequencies in to deliver more data. 25,000 - 1,000,000's Hertz.

A low pass filter separates Audio frequency from the digital information.

DSL contains many subsets includes ADSL1, ADSL2, ADSL2+, VDSL and VDSL2.

DSL speed is also dependant on distance from the phone exchange and quality of the copper lines + connections to the premises.

DSL speed is also much lower when the cables are under water.

because the signal is the broad
