Broadband cable Internet excels at speed. When other types of services offer a couple of Mbps as their top speed, Many Broadband service providers offer up to 8 Mbps. Thie difference in speed is due to different technologies used to carry services such as DSL and those that carry broadband cable Internet.
As technology becomes more advanced, cable will still maintain a higher connection speed than other types of services. However, optic cables vs television cables make a big difference in speed. Though PowerBoost speeds - a way of giving bursts of speed at certain times- which may reach 12 Mbps are not maintained continually, they can be necessary. PowerBoost technology will likely become more widespread in the future as a consumer can have limited bandwidth, with the option of extra speed when necessary.
Another new source of bandwith - that is not limited by cable speed or load is wi-fi. In a few years, it will probably out perform today's speeds.
