What are the advantages of using a cable modem to access the Internet?

A cable modem will provide you with rapid download transmission speeds. Downloading a file that would take one-half hour using a telephone modem connection will take only a few seconds with a cable modem connection. As a high- speed medium, you will be able to view many different multimedia presentations – “live” or streamed – such as concerts, movies, etc. Also, a cable modem provides a continual connection to the Internet because two-way cable modems do not require the use of a telephone line.
