Have you ever used both before? How can cable get any faster when it gets slower for every new subscriber in your area and ever additional person on the internet in your area? DSL will not slowdown for every additional subscriber in your area.
No, DSL is not shared *bandwidth* wise. It can be *physically* shared though, but does not show a signal degradation with additional users. At least not within moderation. I guess if one was to split their phone line several dozen times in their home, you'd see a slowdown. Yes, I forgot to mention that the limit with DSL is about 18,000', if you're any further away, you can't get DSL. You must be within that limit of the sub-station. Technically it's not the bandwidth that drops, but the signal can degrade if you're 17,900' away or thereabouts (just an example). Also, the carrier must test your phone lines to see if they are good enough to support data x-mission. -Clint God Bless Us All Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com � ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 13.11.02 Sender: OrpheusComputing.com Time: 00:11 > Cable is a "shared" bandwidth service and DSL is not. Technically, DSL is kinda "shared" too. And available bandwidth drops as the distance from the telco center rises. > Cable will always get slower. DSL will not.
