ABSTRACT
Speed The cable system was designed and installed for one-way TV signal delivery, the download bandwidth is high but uploading data is often difficult, not due to the cabling bandwidth but design difficulties with the installed equipment at the cable company. There are specifications such as MCNS (Multimedia Cable Network System) and DOCSIS (Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification) but not all cable companies can offer these. Most are able to supply good bandwidth for download but require a modem for uploads. This situation will change, possibly in the near future, but the cable companies have been slow to offer high speed net access.
