What is the difference between Cable and DSL internet?

Cable is used by wires around the world such as cable tv so they are connected and DSL technology uses the same principals but instead uses telephone lines. Which would be faster and why?

You can connect to the internet using a modem. Two most widely used broadband modems that transmit analog information and convert it to digital for this purpose are DSL and cable, each with different benefits. Most notably, both are faster than dial-up. Therefore, they’re often referred to as high-speed internet access.

What is DSL?

A DSL modem connects your computer to a phone line in order to transmit digital data. If your computer already has an internal modem (called a voiceband modem), you can “dial-in” through your telephone landline. Otherwise, you’d need to purchase an external modem. Provider companies sometimes offer these at no charge with your subscription. Those usually connect to your USB port.

The speed at which a DSL modem sends and receives data varies from hundreds of Kilobits per second to many Megabits.

Examples of DSL technologies:

* Asymmetric DSL (ASDL)
* ISDN Digital Subscriber Line (IDSL)

Advantages:

* You can access both the internet and your phone line at the same time
* Faster speed than dial-up
* Ability to choose between different connection speeds and pricing from various providers

Disadvantages:

* Receives data faster than it sends it
* Sometimes not available in remote areas
* The farther you are from the provider’s central location, the slower the transmission

What is Cable?
A cable modem transmits digital data over existing cable television lines. They can either be internal or external. The speed at which it sends and receives data varies from just a few Megabits per second to many Megabits.

Advantages:

* Performance isn’t based on distance from the provider’s central location
* Faster speed than dial-up and most often DSL

What is the better deal for High Speed Internet?

(I am not very good with computer technical terms, so please answer seriously and simply.) I have two options. The first is a basic high speed internet. It has a speed of 256K up and down and it is $24.95 per month. The other is a preferred high speed internet. It has a speed of 384K up and 4 megs down. It is $21.95 per month for the first 3 months and is normally $42.95 per month. My roomate needs a connection fast enough so he can play World of Warcraft. I just want a decent internet connection for e-mail, IM, and internet surfing. Can anyone offer any advice?

Well 256k is fast enough to play warcraft on the internet. But if you can afford the 42.95 per month go for the 4MB down (That's 4000K). 256K is 200 times faster than your regular modem, that should be sufficient for Online gaming.

Could I use the high speed internet that is hooked up to my computer from any phone jack in the house?

I'm thinking about getting xbox live. I don't have a wireless internet connection so I would have to hook it up to a phone jack. Would the high speed work? Do i even need high speed internet for xbox live?

It depends how the broadband is delivered to your home. I assume you have a DSL connection and not cable.

In our country, we need to insert a "splitter" on top of the phone jack, to split(what else ;-) ) the phone data and internet data.

You could then plug the splitter in the jack where you want and connect…
