ADSL vs Cable

Anyone can tell the difference
    when you compare them

There are some major differences between Lightspeed's Highspeed ADSL and cable Internet connections, and the cable company has been spending a lot of money to convince you that they have a better product, we don't need to. We have common sense on our side.

The cable guys all talk about speed, speed, speed. So let's really talk about speed. Big cable claims to have basic connection speeds up to 5 Mbps (megabits per second) as their download speed. The key thing in that claim is "up to" talk to any cable Internet user and they'll admit that in the morning over breakfast and right after supper it gets slow. Of course it does because cable Internet is shared, and you're sharing the same connection as all of your neighbours and that's a fundamental difference between ADSL and cable. Most of them will tell you, sharing is not always a good thing.

Ask yourself this, if you're driving your car which works better consistently driving along at 50 kilometers per hour non-stop or up to 80 kph in start and stop traffic. In the long run the answer is consistency will win the race. The same is true when you are comparing Lightspeed's ADSL against the cable guys service. We offer consistent connections starting at 1.5 Mbps, with plans up to 4 Mbps also available. So the cable speed myth is just that, a myth, with us you get the same speed all the time.

Security is a concern for almost everyone on the Internet now-a-days and this is another area where cable falls far behind our superior ADSL Internet connections. With Lightspeed's fast ADSL service you have your own connection, and that makes you completely in control of your security. No sharing, no one else is in your pool, just less risk overall. Why is it that the choice for business Internet is an ADSL connection? In the top three reasons you'll always find security. Sure businesses are worried about credit card numbers, photographs, letters and correspondence, but these are all things on your home computer as well. Lightspeed's ADSL is a better, more secure way to get connected to the Internet.

The one thing the cable company doesn't talk about in their mega dollar advertising campaigns is the fact that their special pricing is dependant on you taking extra channels, or digital television, or some other catch to save money. You want just the Internet and that's all, Lightspeed is more than happy to get you connected to our premium Highspeed ADSL service.

Faster and more secure; then Lightspeed has the ADSL service you're looking for, so who is really trying to sell you something?
