尽管线缆Modem比拔号连接提供了更高的访问速率,并具有较低的价格,但线缆Modem被接受的速度仍很缓慢,尤其在公司市场。但随着线缆厂商不断增强网络基础结构及提供企业级服务,线缆Modem的用户有望在未来几年内有较大的增长。线缆Modem与拔号连接相比好处之一是至少在消费市场消费者是满意的。例如:软件工程师Brian Lambert——Groove网络公司的发起人,他要花费很多时间从Internet上下载数据,收发电子邮件及信息冲浪,去年秋天以前,Lambert一直依赖ISDN连接,但效率不是很高,而且月花费要超过200美元。当Lambert改用线缆Modem访问后,网络访问连接速度更快了,而且月花费降低了很多,他对此非常满意。
Although cable modems offer higher access rates and lower prices than dial-up connections, cable modems are still slow to be accepted, especially in the corporate market. However, as cable manufacturers continue to enhance their network infrastructure and provide enterprise-class services, cable modem users are expected to see significant growth in the coming years. One of the benefits of cable modems over dial-up connections is that at least consumers in the consumer market are satisfied. For example: Software Engineer Brian Lambert, founder of Groove Networks, spends a lot of time downloading data from the Internet, sending and receiving e-mail and surfing the web. Before last fall, Lambert had relied on ISDN connections, but the efficiency was not high, and Month costs more than 200 dollars. He was pleased that Lambert switched to Cable Modem to connect to the network faster and with a much lower monthly spend.
