I have DSL/CABLE can I increase my speed?

If you have DSL (Digital Subsscriber Line) or CABLE service from you providor increasing your speed would be dependent on a number of factors.

  1. The area that you are presently located would be governed by the central office that supplies you with the service. Another determining factor affecting the possibility of speed increase is the equipment that your provider presently uses, new or older technology.

  3. In the case of DSL the distance of the subscriber from the central office is called a loop length that would adversely affect speed the further the copper wire is from the central office. 
  4. Cable internet access is contention-based, with users arranged in contention groups off nodes that split the television and data signals at the cable providoe's end. The speed of the network varies depending on how populated the node is.
