 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. Over 10x Faster Than DSLWith download speeds up to 75 Mbps, cable high-speed Internet offers much faster connections than DSL. And unlike DSL, your Internet speed is not dependent on how far your home is from a central hub. You can download music, upload photos and stream videos quickly and easily. Sweet Customer SatisfactionWith cable Internet service, you get added reliability, fewer service disruptions and quicker installation. And with DSL, you might have to "log in" for service. With cable, you're always connected so you never miss an important email or online auction. All that, and free 24/7 technical support. Fiber-Optics = Savings For YouFiber-optic cables cost us quite a bit to install because they're so fragile and difficult to splice, but you don't see a penny of that cost. Why? Because we're dedicated to delivering the highest level of service at the lowest price. That, and we just really like fiber-optic cables... The Magic of FiberFiber-optic cable consists of bundles of glass threads that transmit data over light waves.
