How does DSL compare with Cable Modems? PDF Print E-mail
DSL bandwidth can be guaranteed and is private, whereas cable modems work over a shared network and can be slowed down by the number of users sharing the network at any one time. Due to their shared environment, Cable modems are also more vulnerable to hacking. The ADSL, VDSL  network by design is much more reliable than the Cable TV network, due in large part to the amount of redundancy built into it (how often is your phone out of service compared with your cable?). Download speeds of our DSL service (up to 24Mbps) are typcially comparable to cable modem service in Springfield and our upload speeds (up to 1or 2 Mbps) are faster than are typically offered on cable modems.

Best of all, you are supporting a local, family owned, independent telecommunications provider that is base right here in Illinois!
