Comcast Broadband High Speed Internet can offer you and your relatives with a lot of choices for education, keeping in contact with associates and extended family, entertainment, and maybe even some entrepreneurship. Having mentioned that, there are in reality a bunch of various types of high speed Internet access to pick from and a lot of various companies offering high speed Internet service. With all of these choices, choosing which ones to go for can be quit tough! After all, how do you know that you're obtaining the service that best fits the needs of your family? How do you know that you're receiving the accurate level of service for the amount of money you're forking out? In order to find all of this out, you need to be briefed about the various kinds of high speed Internet service available.

The high speed Internet service to search for is broad band digital cable from Comcast Cable because it's the standard against which all other forms of Internet service can be measured. The detail that it's delivered over a fiber optic cable network allows it to offer download speeds as high as fifteen megabytes per second! That's very impressive when measured against what other services can deliver.

In contrast to broad band digital cable high speed Internet service from Comcast Cable, there's also DSL, satellite Internet, broad band wireless Internet, and dial up. Dial up is way to slow to qualify as a high speed Internet service and an enormously poor value in terms of the speed that you do get, so it's not worth examining in any aspect. DSL uses similar technology to dial up in the sense that they're both delivered over telephone lines. And while it's impressive that DSL can provide so much more speed than dial up while accessing the same medium, DSL simply doesn't measure up to Comcast's broad band digital cable in terms of speed or value.

As a matter of fact, the roughly three megabyte per second maximum download speed that you can obtain from DSL costs about the same as the impressive fifteen megabytes per second that you can obtain through Comcast Cable TV. Satellite Internet is an even poorer value because it's no faster than DSL, but is about twice the cost of DSL or Comcast's high speed Internet service. To make satellite Internet an even worse deal, it has so much built in latency that it's unable to coexist with VoIP or just about any other application that has to function in real time! Broad band wireless of the kind that keeps mobile laptops and smart phones connected to the Internet is the absolute worst value because it's even slower than DSL, but costs even more than satellite Internet! All of this leaves broad band digital cable high speed Internet service from Comcast TV as the top option.

Another benefit to getting your high speed Internet service from Comcast Cable TV is that it can be bundled with digital cable television and home telephone services in order to save on your budget. While the Internet can deliver a lot of entertainment and communication options, digital cable television and phone service have their places in terms of ease of use and simplicity.

All of these things are worth taking into account when shopping for high speed Internet service.
