Cable modem connection?

Question

What is the meaning of this? how does it works?what are the equipment for it

Answer 1

This is when you have high speed access to the internet through your cable TV provider. The equipment consists of a cable modem (which is used to connect the incoming cable to your computer). The cable company provides this to you for a monthly fee (or you can buy it outright from them, OR you can get your own). Either way you go just buy it. Over time the monthly "lease" fee ends being way more than what you will pay if you just buy it upfront.

The only other equipment you need is a NIC (Network Interface Card) which is in your computer. The port the cable it hooks into looks like a phone jack, except it's bigger. Most computers made in the past several years have this port built-in. If you don't have one you can get one for around $15-20 at most electronic stores.

Answer 2

The internet is really only data provided to you at your computer. In order to provide yoyu with data you need a connection (via a service provider) to the internet. For reasons that i wont explain you cannot do this yourself.

In the early days of the internet the only available means of connection from you to your service provider and then to the internet was yoyur phone line. The telephone companies provided very slow connections but, as they argued, their contract was to guarantee you voice connection (phonecalls) anything else was a bonus.

As the internet grew and technology improved various means of providing you with a lot more data in the same time were developed. Foremost of these was cable and ADSL. Forget the meaning of the terms just think about data access. The data is going past you all the time on the electronic network. What slows you down is the equipment between you and the data. Telephone data is very slow but television and other technologies were already fast. Thus we come top cable and ADSL.

The internet could be provided to you very quickly because your computer could deal with fast delivery and the maker of the data could send quickly but the carrier was slow. Cable meant that the same delivery mechanism that brought you TV coul;d also bring the internet and at 20/30.50.100 times faster because the cable connection could carry lots more data.

There really is no comparison. Whilst cable can be annoying when, for unexplained reasons it slows down, it is always faster than the older phone\modem connections. All of this is still the internet in its infancy because within a few years faster technologies ca[able of transmitting much more data (bandwidth) will be developed. Prices of supply will also drop but not necessarily by as much (thats Capitalism).

Dont waste time on old telephone/modem connections unless your interest is purely in say, e-mail, in which case you are sending very little data. If you want to download much. or take a virtual tour of the Louvre, or send a video or even some oictures to a friend, you will need Cable. Look for free comnnection and setup and a deal that gives you reasonable download/upload limits say 5GB (assuming no teenage children) and slowing of connection speed rather than charges if you exceed your limit. This is most important--better to drop backto old telephone modem speeds for a few days at the end of the month thatn suddenly pay a very higfh price for each for each extra MB. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

sure ofcourse the cable modems are having stable velocity. My pal has have been given one too. yet his pc is putting up now and then while the cable is hooked as much as the pc. So he bought a sparkling connection(ADSL modem connection). those are additionally having decent speeds. in case you opt to purchase internet connection, attempt BSNL(Dataone) or Airtel.

Answer 4

This is an internet connection where you will be connect via LAN

There is a service provider who will come over to your destination where you require Internet connection.

The service provider will give configure your pc with his IP Configuration and do the necessary connection for you.

You need not worry. Depending upon the area the service provider will ask you a One time installation and then will bill you every month for using his services.

All you require is a Computer with a LAN Card.

Answer 5

Your cable modem hooks up to your Comcast connection (Coax cable) with a Cat5 cable from your modem to your computer.

Answer 6

A cable modem is a type of modem that provides access to a data signal sent over the cable television infrastructure. Cable modems are primarily used to deliver broadband Internet access, taking advantage of unused bandwidth on a cable television network.

Accessing the Internet using a Cable Network (and a cable modem) is becoming increasingly more popular due to the much greater speed than is available through telephone-modem access. Vicomsoft has gained valuable experience and knowledge about cable access and would like to make this information available to those interested in the subject.

We are presenting the information in a Q&A (Questions and Answers) format that we hope will be useful. Our current knowledge relates primarily to cable access in the USA and Canada although we understand that cable access to the Internet is growing in a number of countries world-wide. The explanations we provide should apply equally to cable access in most countries. We welcome feedback and comments from any readers on the usefulness or content.

All aspects of the Internet, and especially access via cable networks, are constantly changing. We are providing the best information available to us as at date of writing and intend to update it at frequent intervals as things change and/or more information becomes available. However, we intend this Q&A as a guide only and recommend that users obtain specific information from local cable companies to determine applicability to their specific requirements. (This is another way of saying that we cannot be held liable or responsible for the content).

The full Q&A is in two parts, each part divided into a number of sections. Part One is general in nature and less technical, while Part Two deals with more technical matters.

Introduction
Vicomsoft does not sell cable modems or access to the Internet via cable systems. Furthermore, our products can be used with any type of Internet connection, be it modem dial-up, ISDN, T1, or cable modem. In other words, we are neutral on the subject of how people connect to the Internet (but will admit to being biased to encouraging people to connect).

From our tests, from feedback we have received from users, from the recent progress made by the cable companies and from what we have read, it would appear that accessing the Internet via cable systems using cable modems is an option that is definitely worth considering for users who have it available to them.

How does a Cable Modem actually work?
Your Cable Company supplies you with a connection to your home which in turn is connected to a splitter box. One spur from the splitter box is connected to your TV, through a TV Adapter, the other being connected to your Cable Modem, which in turn is connected to your computer through an Ethernet connection. The diagram below illustrates a typical installation.




How does the Cable Modem physically attach to my computer?
The most common method for Cable Modems to be attached to your computer is by using an Ethernet connection utilizing 10baseT cables. (10baseT is also referred to as Twisted Pair or UTP.) This uses a cable that is similar to a telephone cable with a small plastic connector at either end. One end connects to the Cable Modem, the other connects to your computer's Ethernet card.
