Cable Internet

Hello,

I’ve got premium ADSL with CityWest. When I’m connected the speed is acceptable. There is a noticeable slow down in peak hours.
I have a question about CityWest cable Internet service.
Is the Internet connection stable with cable Internet? I sometimes lose my connection with ADSL.
Thank you.

I’ve had cable internet for the past two weeks or so and it is noticeably faster and I haven’t lost my connection at all. Plus, its $15 cheaper per month if you buy the modem.

I believe they are encouraging people to switch to cable as they just upgraded their equipment. Actually, they aren’t even selling residential DSL anymore…at least that is what they told me.

I have had cable internet since January, special connection deal for 6 months if I bought the modem…It has been $10.00 monthly but will increase to almost $40.00. I do not think it is that fast, in fact it has been annoyingly slow for the last couple of weeks but all in all, not bad…

Thanks for the feedback, codybear933. I would be happy if it has speed comparable to ADSL with perhaps a bit more connectivity.
