Anyone who has ever used a dial up Internet connection and then tried out a high speed Internet connection knows that a faster connection makes all the difference when it comes to accessing the Internet. Because of this it's really no surprise that more and more people are signing up for high speed Internet service from Comcast. After all, thanks to its broad band digital cable technology, Comcast is able to offer the fastest Internet connection available to residential customers. Only businesses and universities are eligible for anything faster!

So how much faster is this form of Internet technology than the competition? It's actually over one hundred times faster than dial up Internet access and several times faster than DSL, which is the other major technology that many companies market as high speed Internet access. While Comcast's broad band digital cable Internet technology offers download speeds as high as eight mbps, DSL's maximum speed is two mbps. The difference between these two competing services becomes even more pronounced when you look at the fact that DSL service gets slower the farther you live from the connection point. Because of this many DSL users are limited to speeds of about five hundred kbps which is only one sixteenth the speed that you can expect to get from an Internet connection from Comcast!

All of that speed from Comcast High Speed Internet will make a huge difference in how you use the Internet in a variety of ways. One great example is that it's fast enough so that your entire family can share the same Internet connection at the same time without slowing each other down. That's something that can be done with slower connection speeds, but as soon as anyone tries to download something really data intensive, everyone else's connection to the Internet will slow down sharply. This is something that users of a broad band digital cable Internet connection simply don't have to worry about!

Comcast will make getting all of your computers connected to the Internet even easier by giving you a wireless router when you sign up for high speed Internet service, so that you can set up your own WiFi hot spot. You'll also get free McAfee VirusScan software and have the option of installing a firewall in order to keep your computers that much safer from external threats.

Cable TV is the area in which Comcast originally made a name for itself, and now it offers the best cable TV service possible with the addition of digital TV technology, hundreds of channels, and all of the best TV enhancing features available today! You'll get all of your local channels, access to Comcast's video on demand based pay per view service which is called ON DEMAND, and forty five diverse channels that play a variety of digital music with every programming package.
