Cable vs. DSL

 

When it comes to speed, value and service, Cable leaves DSL in the dust. Compare for yourself.

 

How does it work?

 

Cable

Road Runner High Speed Online is available over our Advanced Fiber Network and allows customers blazing fast speeds. Plus, you can surf the web, watch TV and chat using your Digital Phone service all at the same time.

 

DSL

DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) is installed through a filter on a telephone line. The filter separates out high frequencies (used for online service) from the lower frequencies (used for phone service). The DSL computer modem and the phone can be used at the same time without interference.
