hi.. there is much difference between the two..( not like cable TV and satelite TV :-)
one of the major differences is the upstream speed. ADSL is asynchronic which mean that you can DL very fast comparing to UL ( which is about the upstream of ISDN ). On cable the DL and UL speed are the same ( which means you can download and upload basicly at the same speed concedering the other side ) so far this means that cable wins but cable speed is very depended on the number of users that share the line which is not the case with ADSL ( user are not effected by other users ) another draw back to ADSL is that you must be located near a Bezeq center ( within 4 km range ) and in cable you don't have this prob. this is only the major differences and there are many more. to conclude: if you plane mainly to DL stuff and you are near a Bezeq center you might want to be connected via ADSL if you need fast up stream as well as fast downstream and you don't have much neighboors near you that are connected via cable then cable should be your choice.. :-) On Monday 18 March 2002 01:47, Shaul Karl wrote: > Is there any point comparing cable modem and ADSL or is it much like > comparing the cable TV offerings to the satellite TV offerings? > > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > > Hash: SHA1 > > > > Hi Yehuda, > > > > That's probably something that Onlye Arutzei Zahav enables.
