What is a Cable Modem & how does it work? A Cable Modem is a digital modem that uses a coaxial cable connection for the data transmission.coaxial cable This data connection is received by a cable modem that decodes the signal into your PC. MORE INFO...

How fast is a Cable Modem? Cable modems are up to 10-20Mbps downloads. Typical downloads are over 300Kbps, or close to 600Kbps, but the speed of the cable modem depends on a few things. First it depends on how many users are on the system since the cable technology is a "shared" bandwidth. Too many users using too much throughput can drain this shared technology. The second factor to cable modem speed is a limit on the cable modem itself. Some cable providers will limit the upload or download speed on the cable modem, and this could affect your connection speed.bandwidth

How secure is a Cable Modem? Cable connections are not 100% secure in any instance like many other connections on the Internet. Even though most cable providers block ports , cable modems are likely to be generated in any case where a user has file and print sharing turned on, or possibly other services like SMTP (Simple mail transfer protocol), Web Servers and Telnet services. A general rule is to keep passwords long and turn off any service that you don't absolutely need running. A firewall type application should be used to keep a network as secure as possible.

Cable Modems vs. ADSL There is one major advantage that ADSL has over cable modems. Cable modems use a shared networking technology where all the cable modems share a single pipe to the Internet. This pipe speed will fluctuate depending on the number of subscribers on the network. When ADSL is used, the pipe to the Internet is solely "yours", and is not shared along the way to a central office. This allows for a more consistent speed, and this speed does not typically fluctuate like cable modem networks. MORE INFO...

Who makes Cable Modems & what are some Cable Modem Service Providers? There are many cable modem brands, and some of the most common ones are from Com21, Motorola, Bay Networks, RCA, Cisco, Toshiba, 3Com, and Terayon. There are several popular cable modem providers. A few of them available at Mediaone Express available at and Road Runner, a service by Time Warner available at
