The final phase of testing a computer program goes through before public release. Internet browsers cache information and images temporarily from World Wide Web pages to the user's computer. 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. The actual bandwidth for Internet service over a cable TV line is up to 27 Mbps on the download path to the subscriber with about 2.5 Mbps of bandwidth for interactive responses in the other direction. However, since the local provider may not be connected to the Internet on a line faster than a T-1 at 1.5 Mpbs, a more likely data rate will be close to 1.5 Mpbs.
