A modem that uses
your cable TV connection instead of a phone line to connect
to the internet, Becasue the bandwidth of coaxial cable is much
higher than that of the standard phone line your telephone uses,
the speed advantage of cable modems over regular phone modems
is profound. Cable modem speeds range from 500 kbps (kilobits
per second) to 10Mbps (megabits per second)
