So Fast, Even Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves Can't Keep Up*
If you have ever experienced the speed of a dial-up connection to the Internet, you probably think that WWW stands for
"World Wide Wait". With Markdale Cable TV High Speed Internet you will quickly learn why it is actually called the World Wide Web as you will
see that the world of information will immediately be at your fingertips.
Cable Internet access vastly outperforms most other common
means of connecting to the Internet and will enable you to experience the best of what the web has to offer at the speeds it is designed
to utilize.
Modem speeds are measured in kilobits per second (Kbps). To convert to kilobytes per second (KB/sec.), divide by eight - note the spelling "bits" vs
"bytes". In the table below, each modem speed is shown along with the theoretical time required to download a 1 MB file, assuming the full transfer speed was
achieved. Please keep in mind that these speeds are the theoretical possible speeds. Regardless of your Internet Service Provider, overhead and
other natural inefficiencies of the Internet (such as web site server lag and general Internet congestion) often
reduce actual performance by 5 percent to 20 percent for all users.
