	DSL vs Cable modem
		Cable modems, which allow users to connect using the cable television network, seem to be first out of the gate with broader availability and lower costs with some concern about the security issues.
		Cable modems are designed to take advantage of the "broadband" cable infrastructure enabling peak connection speeds over 100 times faster than traditional dial-up connections.
		Because some cable networks are suited for broadcast television services, cable modems may use either a standard telephone line or a QPSK/16 QAM modem over a two-way cable system to transmit data upstream from a user location to the network.

	Cable modem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cable modems are primarily used to deliver broadband Internet access, taking advantage of unused bandwidth on a cable television network.
		The PSTN return path cable modem service was considered 'one way cable' and had many of the same drawbacks as satellite internet service, and as a result it quickly gave way to two way cable.
		Cable modems that used the RF cable network for the return path were considered 'two way cable', and were better able to compete with DSL which was bidirectional.

	Cable Modem (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Cable modems are notable in that the bandwidth to the home, referred to as the "downstream" rate, is considerably greater than the bandwidth from the home, referred to as the "upstream" rate.
		An individual cable modem user today may experience access speeds from 500Kbps to 30Mbps with the average user receiving about 500Kbps to 2Mbps (depending on how many other users are on the network and how much bandwidth they are using up).
		Regardless, companies are realizing the potential profitability of cable modem—The National Cable Television Association estimates that cable operators will spend over $33 billion over the next two years to upgrade their existing infrastructures for broadband services [3].

		By default, the cable modem is configured to auto-negotiate its speed and duplex setting to be the same as your ethernet card.
		In most cases, cable modems are furnished as part of the cable access service and are not purchased directly and installed by the subscriber.
		With cable modem service a user never has to wait to get connected to their server again, because they are always connected.

	Cable Modem: Teledatacom Glossary
		A cable modem is a device that enables you to hook up your PC to a local cable TV line and receive data at about 1.5 Mbps.
		A cable modem has two connections: one to the cable wall outlet and the other to a PC or to a set-top box for a TV set.
		Although a cable modem does modulation between analog and digital signals, it is a much more complex device than a telephone modem.

		The Model 5011 External ethernet cable modem was certified in a previous round (June?).
		The problem is, none of these tests measure the actual speed of your cable modem: what they measure is the bandwidth between your cable modem and the test site itself, subject to a maximum cut-off at the speed of the modem.
		In essence, the cable modem is a "virtual" NIC connected to a very big "virtual" LAN.

	Cable modem termination system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A cable modem termination system or CMTS is equipment typically found in a cable company's headend and is used to provide high speed data services, such as cable internet or Voice over IP, to cable subscribers.
		Traffic destined for the cable modem from the Internet, known as downstream traffic, is carried in IP packets encapsulated in MPEG packets.
		Upstream data (data from cable modems to the headend or Internet) is carried in Ethernet frames modulated with QPSK or 16-QAM.

		Because the coaxial cable used by cable TV provides much greater bandwidth than telephone lines, a cable modem can be used to achieve extremely fast access to the World Wide Web.
		This, combined with the fact that millions of homes are already wired for cable TV, has made the cable modem something of a holy grail for Internet and cable TV companies.
		Despite these problems, cable modems that offer speeds up to 2 Mbps are already available in many areas.

	Get a Cable Modem....Go to Jail
		I explain again that I am not a Comcast cable TV customer, but only a Comcast@home customer, so there would likely not be a record of my name, unless she has records of Comcast@home customers as well as Comcast cable TV customers.
		They now have a procedure to note @Home subscribers without cable TV service in their cable service billing system, and have added some checks and balances to ensure that their cable fraud investigators will be able to identify this type of situation in the future.
		He did some testing at the cable modem (found a very weak signal), then at the connection where the cable enters my house (again, a weak signal), and then at the "pedestal" out on the street (again a weak signal)--he said it was likely weak because there were two video traps on my line.

		TCP is a packet-based protocol where data is transmitted in variable-sized blocks, typically with a maximum size of 500-1500 characters (usually 1500 characters for Cable Modem or DSL).
		As an illustrative example, consider a DOCSIS cable segment with 4 upstream channels per downstream channel, and 1000 subscribers (a recommended maximum).
		Security on a full-time Cable Modem or DSL connection to the public Internet is much more important than on a temporary dial-up modem connection.
