ACable Internet access uses cable television wires instead of telephone lines to connect to the Internet. It is extremely fast and affordable and does not tie up telephone lines for incoming or outgoing calls and faxes.

ACable modems offer Internet access at speeds up to 100 times faster than a traditional phone modem. You can experience speeds of over 1,000 Kbps. Due to network condition such as traffic volume and the speed of the sites you visit, actual speed may vary. Many network and other factors can affect download speeds.

QCan I still watch cable TV while using my cable modem?

AYes, your cable TV line can carry the TV signal while you send and receive information on the Internet.
