In parnership with Armstrong Cable Services. Access is achieved through the use of a cable bridge and a cable connection. A modem is a device that MOdulates and DEModulates signals.
Cable modems are more complicated than their telephone dial-up counterparts.
Because of the ever-present video and other data transfers occuring on the coax, timing of the data delivery becomes of key importance. The average dial-up modem offers maximum speed of 56,400 bytes per second versus a cable modem connection of up to 1,200,000 bytes per second. The ability to transfer data is only limited by the connection speed of the service provider. Which cable bridge you need is determined by the number of users and your network environment. If you have your own proxy or web server, there are other considerations.
