What is a cable modem?

A cable modem is an external device that hooks up to your computer. Instead of getting an internet connection through your telephone wire, you get a connection through your cable network (the same place your cable TV Connection comes from).

Cable modems translate radio frequency (RF) signals to and from the cable plant into Internet Protocol (IP), the communications protocol spoken by all computers connected to the Internet.

Traditional dial-up modems provide online access through the public telephone network at up to 56,000 bits per second (kbps).

A cable modem, on the other hand, provides high-speed Internet access through a cable television network at more than 1 million bits per second (mbps).
