Cable internet access

The term cable Internet access or Cable Internet refers to the delivery of Internet service over this infrastructure. Cable modems, along with DSL technology, are the two primary types of broadband Internet access. An Internet Service Provider (ISP) is a business or organization that offers users access to the Internet and related services. ... DSL redirects here. ... Broadband in telecommunications is a term that refers to a signaling method that includes or handles a relatively wide range of frequencies, which may be divided into channels or frequency bins. ...

Bit rate of business cable modem service typically range from 2 Megabits per second (Mbit/s) up to 50 Mbit/s or more. The upstream rate on residential cable modem service usually ranges from 384 Kilobits per second (kbit/s) to 20 Mbit/s or more. Many cable operators offer different service tiers, some with 'home' and 'business' designations. The Megabit is a unit of information storage, abbreviated Mbit or sometimes Mb. ... A kilobit is a unit of information storage, abbreviated kbit or sometimes kb. ... Tiered services is business jargon for providing a service (such as telecom connectivity or cable channel service) according to separate, incrementally distinct quality and pay levels, or tiers. ...

There are two potential disadvantages to cable internet:

1. Like all residential broadband network technologies (e.g. DSL, FTTX, Satellite internet, WiMAX), a fixed channel capacity is shared by a population of users (in the case of cable internet, users in a neighborhood share the available capacity provided by a single coaxial cable line). Therefore, service speed can vary depending on how many people are using the service at the same time. This arrangement allows the network operator to take advantage of statistical multiplexing in order to provide an adequate level of service at an acceptable price. However, the operator has to monitor usage patterns, and scale the network appropriately, to ensure that customers receive adequate service even during peak usage times. Some operators also use a bandwidth cap.
2. Many cable Internet providers are reluctant to offer cable modem access without tying it to a cable television subscription. They do this by charging higher rates, say $60/month for cable modem only access, than if one bundles it with a cable TV plan where it might be $40/month for cable modem service plus $40/month for cable TV service. This has ramifications similar to those of the lack of naked DSL. Cable internet access providers who resell access from cable companies, such as Earthlink, are generally not subject to these higher rates. However, they cannot give you internet access if you don't have cable service.

Cable Internet Equipment

Broadband cable internet access requires a cable modem (CM) at the customer premises and a CMTS located at a cable operator facility (typically a headend or hub location). The two are connected via coaxial cable or, more commonly, a Hybrid Fiber Coaxial plant. While access network technologies are sometimes referred to as "last-mile" (or "first-mile") technologies, cable internet systems can typically operate where the distance between the CM and CMTS is up to 100 miles.

Hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) is a telecommunications industry term for a network which incorporates both optical fiber along with coaxial cable to create a broadband network. ...

Transfer rates offered by various cable operators

Most DOCSIS cable modems have caps (restrictions) on upload and download rates. These are set by transferring a configuration file to the modem, via TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol), when the modem first establishes a connection to the provider's equipment. Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) is a very simple file transfer protocol, with the functionality of a very basic form of FTP; it was first defined in 1980. ...

One downstream channel can handle hundreds of cable modems. As the system grows, the CMTS can be upgraded with more downstream and upstream ports. If the HFC network is vast, the CMTS can be grouped into hubs for efficient management.

Some users have attempted to override the bandwidth cap and gain access to the full bandwidth of the system (often as much as 30 Mbit/s), by uploading their own configuration file to the cable modem - a process called uncapping. Uncapping is almost always a violation of the Terms of Service agreement^{[citation needed]}. Uncapping, in the context of cable modems, refers to a number of activities performed to alter ones internet service provider modem settings. ... Terms of Service (often abbreviated as ToS) are rules by which one must agree to abide by in order to use a service. ...

United States

• Comcast, the largest cable provider in the United States, caps downstream bandwidth at 4, 6, or 8 Mbit/s and upstream bandwidth at 384 kbit/s (48 kB/s), or 768 kbit/s (96 kB/s) for the 8 Mbit/s downstream package, for standard home connections. In some areas, they are offering 16 Mbit/s downstream and 1 Mbit/s (125 kB/s) or 2 Mbit/s (250 kB/s) upstream as a more expensive, yet speedier alternative; or to keep customers from switching to Verizon's FiOS. These differing speed options are made possible by loading a particular configuration file, for the respective pricing tier or region, into the modem. Comcast also delivers bursts of 16 to 24 Mbit/s with their 6 and 8 Mbit/s packages respectively.

• Cox Communications, another major cable provider, recently upgraded its base package to 7 Mbit/s downstream and 512 kbit/s (64 kB/s) upstream, in select markets, from its previous upgrade of 6 Mbit/s downstream and 512 kbit/s upstream. Its premier package allows downstream rates of 12 Mbit/s and upstream rates of 1 Mbit/s. In other markets, such as Fairfax, Virginia Maryland, Connecticut and Rhode Island the base package is 10 Mbit/s downstream and 2 Mbit/s upstream, with the premier package being 20 Mbit/s downstream and 2 Mbit/s upstream. This is mainly in response to competition from FiOS. Connecticut customers benefit from FiOS competition despite having limited deployments of AT&T's Uverse service due to the fact that the Connecticut and Rhode Island systems are part of Cox's New England network.

• Cablevision, serving parts of New Jersey, Brooklyn, The Bronx, Long Island, Westchester, Rockland, and Connecticut, also faces competition from FiOS and currently offers the fastest 'basic' cable internet service (Optimum Online) in the US, with 15 Mbit/s Downstream and 2 Mbit/s upstream. A premium package offering 30 Mbit/s downstream and 5 Mbit/s upstream is also available.

• Time Warner Cable, through its regular Road Runner cable internet service speeds vary depending upon region. Some areas offering 7 Mbit/s downstream and 512 kbit/s upstream, while others are at 5 Mbit/s downstream and 384 kbit/s upstream. Areas such as Albany and San Diego now have speeds of 10Mbit/s downstream and 1 Mbit/s upstream. Its Road Runner Premium service also varies, with offers of speeds from 20 Mbit/s(in the NYC Region) to 7 Mbit/s downstream, and 512 kbit/s to 2 Mbit/s upstream.[1] [2]

• Mediacom, the eighth largest cable provider in the United States, through its Mediacom Online service offers download speeds of up to 8 Mbit/s and upload speeds of up to 512 kbit/s and for its premium service, Mediacom Online Max, it offers download speeds of up to 15 Mbit/s and upload speeds of 1 Mbit/s.[3]

• CableOne, offers Residential with 1.5 Mbit/s download and 200 kbit/s upload; Residential Plus with 3 Mbit/s download and 300 kbit/s upload; Residential Preferred with 4 Mbit/s download and 400 kbit/s upload; Residential PRO with 5 Mbit/s download and 500 kbit/s upload; and SOHO with 5 Mbit/s download and 768 kbit/s upload.

• Charter Communications, basic service offers 3 Mbit/s download and 256 kbit/s upload. Charter now offers premium speeds of up to 10 Mbit/s download and 1 Mbit/s upload.

• Midcontinent Communications, serving South Dakota and parts of North Dakota, Minnesota, and Nebraska, offers three grades of service through its MidcoNet cable internet service: Limited Internet service at 128 kbit/s upload and download; Standard service with 8 Mbit/s download and 256 kbit/s upload; and MidcoNet Max with unthrottled download speed (around the DOCSIS limit of 40 Mbit/s) and 768 kbit/s upload.

Telenet recently bought UPC Belgium (Cable deliverer in Brussels and Leuven). Telenet holds a monopoly on the Flemish cable network, thats why prices are high and included bandwidth is low.

Mach3 is the name of this new standard, planned roll out in late 2008. Telenet and Belgacom (ADSL provider and host of the Belgium ADSL-network) hold a duopoly in Flanders.
