Internet modems work together on a home network with other devices like a wireless router and network switches.

Cable modems have a big advantage over DSL modems. They provide constant speed numbers no matter hard far away the customer is from there ISP Internet Service Provider. This means that if you are 50 feet or miles away you still get good constant Internet speed. DSL customers on the other hand do not. The further away from the customer is from there ISP the more decrease in constant speed thery will see. Hence, DSL modem service provides slower Internet service speeds than cable modem services does.
