Cable modemsxDSL - Cable modemsDescription: For most practical purposes, DSL is just a fast modem. Your ISP has to have a similar connection on the other side, and you need a direct line. It’s on all the time (web tone) , and can be very fast. Actually the term "Cable Modem" is a bit misleading, as a Cable Modem works more like a Local Area Network (LAN) interface than as a modem.
