Answer:
A cable modem is a small box that connects your computer to the Internet via your local cable television provider. A cable modem has two connections, one that leads to the cable lines outside your home and an Ethernet connection to your computer.
Answer:
Cable modems modulate and demodulate RF signals. The cable modem receives data in what is known as the downstream signal. This signal is modulated on television channels that are 6 MHz wide at frequencies between 88 and 750MHz. Using QAM 64 technology, downstream speeds can reach up to 27Mb/s on the 6 MHz channel, through which the data is transferred. This signal usually runs adjacent to other television signals.
Answer:
Instead of a computer modem hooked up to a local phone line, you are provided with a high speed cable modem that links your PC to the cable fiber- optic/coaxial network and server complex. You can access local and national content from our servers which also provide a gateway for you to connect to the Internet at very high speeds.
Answer:
A cable modem will provide you with rapid download transmission speeds. Downloading a file that would take one-half hour using a telephone modem connection will take only a few seconds with a cable modem connection. As a high- speed medium, you will be able to view many different multimedia presentations – “live” or streamed – such as concerts, movies, etc.
Also, a cable modem provides a continual connection to the Internet because two-way cable modems do not require the use of a telephone line. Your service will not be interrupted or receive external static since the outer layer of the cable line will not allow any noise to enter the transmission line.
Answer:
We provide you with a cable modem that connects to the USB port on most computers – it’s as simple as that.
Answer:
Yes, most new computers come with an Ethernet Card already however if you need one it can be supplied by Mid- Hudson for $ 20.00 and $ 25.00 to install it for you.
Answer:
Windows 98 or newer.
Answer:
Please visit the system requirements page to see if your computer can support Mid-Hudson High-Speed Internet.
Answer:
Yes. Mid-Hudson provides you with a dedicated, always-on connection that never has busy signals and never ties up your phone.
Answer:
Yes. While our services travel over the same network, neither service is affected by using both simultaneously.
Answer:
Network speeds can reach up to 27Mb/s, but speeds will also depend on the service level to which you subscribe. The asymmetric cable modem scheme is the most common type of cable network setup, and will allow for a faster data transmission rate (higher bandwidth) on the downstream data path than the upstream data path. This network setup works well since most cable modem users download more information than they send. For example, downloading web pages and multimedia files and participating in newsgroups requires much more bandwidth than sending web page requests or e-mail.
Answer:
Cable modems can connect to the Internet and download information much faster than a dial-up modem. For example, it will take a cable modem user milliseconds to connect to the Internet, while it will take a dial-up modem user about a minute. Cable modems can also download information at speeds up to 3Mb/s while a dial-up modem will only download information at 53Kb/s or less. Cable Modems are 3 to 10 times faster than DSL depending on where you live.
Answer:
Most current versions of Internet Explorer, Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera and Safari work well with our cable modem service.
