There are many advantages ADSL has over cable modems. It is considered to be far less expensive and has a wider range of availability. Unlike cable?s high-speed Internet services, which are only available in high market areas, ADSL is available in places that cable does not offer Internet access. Thus, ADSL might appeal to consumers who prioritize practicality. The main difference between ADSL and cable is that ADSL uses your existing phone lines, while cable uses dedicated cables laid by a cable company Ð the same ones you can use to receive cable television transmissions. |
