I switched to Cable Internet about a year ago. I used to have Dial-Up and it sucked compared to what I have now! CABLE ROCKS!

What operating system do you have?  (Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows XP, Linux, Mac OS, other)\n\nWhat internet provider do you use? (Earthlink, Yahoo, SBC, AOL, etc, etc,)\n\nDo you have a wireless access point/router/broadband gateway between your computer and DSL or cable modem?

Yes you do. In case you're wondering, they still sell cable modems in case someone needs to replace thiers or sometimes it may be cheaper to buy it seperately than to get one from the isp you sign up with.

Depends on the ISP. If it is your cable company and you want cable modem, it will come through the cable wires.

Modems in almost all new computers are software based and use your processor for much of their work.. They are also horribly unreliable from my experience.\n\nIf you have two computers, and internet, it's time to move to DSL.  If you don't believe me, check out the promotion  http://promo.yahoo.com/att/?refer=dsl0  for only $12.99, how do you beat that.

BellSouth has a $25/mo plan. It is 256/128. I have that at my office and it is more than adequite. If you notice most sites only let you download at 150kbs to 350kbs. Unless you are running several computer or updating computers while trying to surf the net you will not notice the difference. \ni did a major security update for a customer today, AVG, Spybot, SpywareGuard, SpyBlaster, Defender, and SyGate and they never topped 300kbs and that was with Cox Cable at my home. 6Mb&#92;768kbs. Tell BellSouth you want to downgrade to the DSL Lite package. They do not care. \nFYI Cox offers a similar package of 256kbs/256kbs for $25/mo

Sounds like your modem firmware is having issues. I suggest you upgrade the firmware from the manufacturer's website. They should have a tutorial on how this can be accomplished. If not, give them a call and tell them your problem.

Is this in regards to a modem&#92;router, if so what model?

Ouch.  Time to hit Ebay, if your old modem only had USB on the LAN side....  Fortunately lots of people sell DSL modems for not too much.  Try to use the same brand as your old one, just get a model  that has Ethernet output (so if your old modem was a Westell, get another one)

Yes,  call the ISP you got the modem from.  They will walk your through it step by step.

The only setting that has any real effect on your connection speed is your TCP recieve window.  This setting is found in your windows registry and if you are not an advanced user I would not reccomend tampering with this yourself.  There are a number of tweaks available on the net which will edit the registry for you.\n\nhttp://cable-dsl.home.att.net/#IncreasingWindow\n\nThis is an excellent site dealing with cable and dsl modem tweaking.  Scroll down to where it says, "Increasing TCP Receive Window for Microsoft Windows" There you should find everything you need, but be sure to back up your registry before making any modifications.\n\nTo do this go to START, RUN and type "regedit"  Click on  "registry" in the menu bar and go to export registry file, be sure to select "all" for your export range, give it an easily identifiable name and then click save. That way, if you screw up your registry, all you have to do is right click on the file and then click merge to restore your registry to its previous state.\n\nI hope this has been helpful.

Cable right now is better than DSL in terms of speed and reliability.  If you want even faster speeds, go with the new Verizon FiOS...
