Switching from DSL?

Are you considering switching from a DSL Internet connection to a cable Internet connection? While both services are reliable, DSL has shortcomings that you don't run into with cable.

As a DSL customer, you may be looking for the fastest Internet connection you can get. Maybe you're concerned about saving money and are looking for lower installation costs and monthly service fees than DSL can offer. You probably want the best customer service and support available by an Internet provider. Plus, if you live in a rural area, you may not even be able to get DSL. If any of these issues ring a bell with you, this might be a good time to upgrade from DSL to cable.

Cable Internet Offers Blazing Connection Speeds

There are lots of reasons people choose cable over DSL and faster connection speeds come in at the top of the list. The fastest DSL speeds top out at around 10 Mbps, but with today's wideband technologies, cable connections can reach blazing speeds of 50 to 60 Mbps in many markets with even faster speeds coming in the near future.

Cable Internet from Your Cable TV Provider

Ease of installation is another area where cable outshines DSL. If you are currently enjoying cable TV service, you already have a connection to your cable provider, so it will be easy to add high-speed Internet service. You won't need more cables or connections installed to start your service. With DSL, however, you'll need to install a separate phone line for your Internet connection (which means extra expense), phone jack filters, and a DSL modem to begin DSL service.

Save Money with Cable High-Speed Internet

And this leads to price. When you calculate installation costs and monthly service fees, cable usually edges out DSL for saving money, especially if you bundle your high-speed Internet with other cable offerings. And, if you're like most people, saving money sounds good.

Plus your cable high-speed Internet provider offers fully-trained customer service representatives that are available 24/7/365 to answer your questions and help with any of your cable needs.
