Cable Internet Service Providers

With the release of DOCSIS 3.0, cable Internet providers have become the preferred choice for high speed Internet access in America. Download speeds of cable Internet service average from around 12 Mbps up to 18 Mbps, which is far faster than a DSL connection. With the fastest cable Internet plans, you now can get download speeds of up to 105 Mbps.

In addition to recent improvements in their Internet connection speeds, cable companies have also been adjusting their pricing tiers. Many consumers want broadband at a more affordable price, and now you can get lower connection speeds of cable Internet service for around $20 to $25 per month.

These economy plans usually provide from 1.0 to 1.5 Mbps download speeds, which competes with basic DSL in both speed and price. Not all providers offer these plans, but they are becoming more and more common.

Broadband cable connects you to the Internet through the same cable system that you use for watching cable television. Also, cable Internet providers are able to offer a form of digital phone service through this same cable system. This means that you can easily bundle all three services - Internet, television, and phone - to save money on your monthly bills.

Reviews Of Cable Internet Providers In The U.S.

In our reviews of cable providers, you will find the basics of their plans (price, speeds, etc.), plus we detail the average speed tests and customer reviews of each ISP. By far, the two largest companies are Comcast, with over 17 million subscribers, and Time Warner Cable, with around 10 million. Most Americans will live in one of these companies' service area:

• Comcast Cable
• Time Warner Cable
• Cox Internet
• Charter Internet

The fact is that your choices for broadband Internet in the home are very limited. Consumers must choose between their cable company or their Telco for DSL Internet Service. A new option in the form of wireless broadband for the home is starting to develop, but due to the bandwidth constraints of wireless spectrum, it will be a few more years before that is a viable choice.
