Compare Cable vs. DSL
Why choose cable high-speed Internet service over DSL? Three words: fiber-optic technology. As one of the first to use fiber-optic cable, we're able to deliver unsurpassed connection speeds.
- Fiber-optic cable is up to 10x faster than DSL
- Always connected – No logging in like some DSL services
- More throughput – Fiber-optic technology simply carries more data
- Less disruptions – Fiber-optic cables are less susceptible to interference
The Magic of Fiber
Fiber-optic cable consists of bundles of glass threads that transmit data over light waves.
- Because fiber-optic cables have a greater bandwidth than metal wires, they can carry more data.
- Fiber-optic cables are less susceptible than metal wires to interference.
- Data can be transmitted over greater distances and with greater reliability than metal wires.
