Which One Is Better - Dsl Vs Cable Modem
Now that technology has moved us past the almost prehistoric dial up internet connection, two heavy hitters in terms of internet connections have arisen. We have all heard of them, DSL and cable modem. As I said before, we have all heard of them, some of us know about them in detail and some of us do not. How would they match up head to head? Let us match them up and see who comes out on top. With that idea in mind, I give the first heavyweight bout between internet connection platforms. I give you Dsl Vs Cable Modem.
The first thing you have to look at in the Dsl Vs Cable Modem battle is availability. Which of these internet connection giants is more available? The nod has to go to cable modem on this one. The only reason for this is not that cable modems are more popular, but for the simple fact that cable modems have been around longer than DSL. In the battle, Dsl Vs Cable Modem, cable modems are the clear winner.
The next area to look at in the Dsl Vs Cable Modem challenge is affordability. If we had investigated this perhaps a year ago, it would have been cable modems to lose. However, as recently as last year, cable modems were slightly less expensive. Today, with DSL's growing popularity, it would appear that in terms of pricing, DSL and cable modems are pretty even.
The next battleground in the Dsl Vs Cable Modem bout is installation. This one will be going to DSL. Just about everyone has a phone line near his or her computers. Cable outlets are usually not found outside of where a television would typically go in a room. The next round in the Dsl Vs Cable Modem battle is the question of security. The truth is all internet connections put your computer at risk. Neither DSL nor cable modems are any more or any less susceptible to harm. If you have either connection you should simply install a firewall. At any rate, this one, once again is a tie. The final round is the most important issue in this epic Dsl Vs Cable Modem battle is performance. That is what everyone who wants an internet connection wants to know. Which is better? Theoretically cable should be faster, however, with DSL typically a DSL connection will be faster the closer the DSL user is the central DSL center. Therefore, we have to determine it to be another tie. The final verdict in this Dsl Vs Cable Modem battle is a tie. DSL or cable modem connection will get you moving around the internet at a fast speed. In some placed DSL is available and cable modems are not. In other locations, the same is true but in reverse. The reality is whichever one you chose, you are bound to be cruising the web much faster than any dial up connection could ever provide.
