Speed Up Your Cable or DSL Service by Tweaking These Settings

Speed up your cable or DSL service by tweaking these settings

Introduction This report1 analyzes the current and emerging generation of mobile wireless technologies and compares those technologies to wireline technologies such as fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP), cable broadband, and copper DSL across a range of technical parameters, including reliability, resilience, scalability, capacity, and latency. The report also evaluates wireless carriers’ mobile pricing and usage structures—including so-called “unlimited” data plans—because those policies play a significant role in whether consumers can substitute mobile for wireline service.

The report concludes that, for both technical and business reasons, wireless technologies are not now, and will not be in the near to medium future, adequate alternatives or substitutes for wireline broadband.

Introduction -

Technology limitations: modern wireline broadband services are superior to wireless services in terms of capacity, reliability, and scalability. Figure 1 illustrates a range of wireline and wireless technologies, both existing and under development, and provides the speed range in which the technologies operate.

Business and usage policy limitations: the business policies imposed by mobile companies further impact the usability of mobile service as a primary or sole source of broadband. Mobile pricing and usage limits make mobile service a poor substitute for wireline broadband services.

State-of-the-art wired and wireless technologies have widely different capacities and limitations The sections below describe the state of the art in wired and mobile wireless technologies. They present an analysis of the technologies’ current capabilities and limitations, then describe their potential future states.

2.1 Fiber-to-the-premises offers the highest speeds and other technical advantages Fiber is the most advanced form of wireline communications infrastructure. It has been incorporated into middle-mile and backhaul connections the lines that are used to aggregate data traffic and provide high-capacity transport between cities and across continents—since the 1980s.Almost all commercial broadband providers use fiber in portions of their networks, then connect their end users over wireless, coaxial, or copper lines.

Broadband cable service is a robust wireline broadband technology, though not as capable as FTTP Cable broadband technology is currently the primary means of providing broadband services to homes and small and medium-sized businesses in urban, suburban, and small-town areas in the united states. Because of its relative ubiquity in non-rural areas and its inherently greater capacity than commercial wireless service and copper telephone lines , broadband cable networks will continue as a major broadband communications technology for most homes and businesses for the foreseeable future.
