When it comes to speed: Cable v. DSL
In its recently
released 2015 Measuring Broadband America
Fixed Broadband Report, the FCC found that the maximum advertised download
speeds among the most popular service tiers offered by ISPs using cable
technologies more than tripled between 2011 and 2014. (The average speed jumped from 12-30 Mbps in 2011 to 50-105 Mbps in 2014.) A major
factor contributing to the rise in average speed by cable ISPs is the adoption
of DOCSIS 3 technology. By contrast, ISPs
using DSL technology reported lower and generally unchanged maximum advertised
download speeds.
