Move Over Cable, Here Comes G.Lite June 23, 1999

Cable is currently the greatest competition to G.lite, but it has significant limitations and drawbacks of its own: Except for the few areas where two-way service is available, cable modem service currently requires a telephone line for upstream transmission. Cable is also a shared system. With a large number of users sharing bandwidth, both performance and security concerns become critical. By contrast, G.lite and ADSL provide dedicated, point-to-point connections allowing for consistent performance in a secure environment. Finally, like full-rate ADSL, cable requires that a technician be dispatched for installation.

Comments anyone?
