Singtel Broadband I always liked Internet connection via cable because it’s easy and transparent. Bring any cable modem around Singapore and you could access the internet as long you have a cable point. No user name and password to remember, no disconnections, no channels or ISP settings to remembers. It is easy and portable. SingTel’s is based on DSL Digital Symmetric Line technology which tie the service to a fixed telephone line. It is not portable, cost money when you move to other address, disruption for few days during service move period, and with user namepassword to remember.
This basically summarized the fundamental benefit of Cable vs DSL technology. To DSL defense, it is easier to implement for telco companies by using existing phone network and some upgrades on the Central Office Establishing cable service would need laying a cable around the city. In some countriescity where city planning is complex or over-populated, cable coverage is limited and not available to part of the population. A good example would be Jakarta. Telkom has been able to provide its Speedy service through out the country in short-term, while KabelVision has limited coverage and slow to expand. For many part of the population.
