The new competition for Internet Service Provider (ISP) is the new high-speed digital technology, which refers to as Broadband. This high-speed digital technology comes in two different forms: Cable modem or DSL (Digital Subscriber line). Cable modems use your local cable TV lines and DSL use the already existing phone lines. These two services are competing on availability, security, speed, reliability and finally price. Therefore, let's compare the two.

The first component is availability. One of the main disadvantages of the DSL service is that only systems within 3 to 4 miles of telephone switching office can use DSL. Since cable doesn't have the distance limitations as DSL, cable Internet is generally for homes that are already wired for cable TV. However, many businesses aren't wired for cable. This gives DLS the advantage in the commercial area.

The next competing component is security. Security is always a main concern when dealing with the Internet. Since cable modems are operated on a shared system, this have many people concern about security. Cable Internet shares its bandwidth with 100 or so TV channels. Cable is a broadcast service, so the same signa

When it come to reliability, local cable company has a long history of not offering high-quality television server, so it seems even more doubtful that they will provide high-quality Internet service. The telephone company, on the other hand, has been providing high-quality, uninterrupted service to its customers for years. Yet, when we look in term of amount of time a service has been available, DSL technologies are only about a year old and Cable modem technologies, on the other hand, are at least 6 to 7 years old. Therefore, cable modems, which deliver Internet access over a cable television connection, are far better established.

l is sent to every subscriber. The receiving cable modem recognizes the parts of the signal that are meant for the particular customer. DSL service, on the other hand, is more secures than using cable modem because DSL provides a dedicated connection over the existing telephone line.

The bottom line here is that neither telephone companies nor cable companies are doing everything that they can to roll out their technology very quickly. This is due to the fact that they would be replacing a lot of the infrastructure that they've invested in over the years which is still working fine for carrying telephone or
