Cable Internet access
In
telecommunications
,
cable Internet access
, shortened to
cable Internet
, is a form of
broadband Internet access
that uses the
cable television
infrastructure. Like
digital subscriber line
and
fiber to the premises
services, cable Internet access provides network edge connectivity (
last mile
access) from the
Internet service provider
to an end user. It is integrated into the
cable television
infrastructure analogously to DSL which uses the existing
telephone
network. Cable TV networks and telecommunications networks are the two predominant forms of
residential
Internet access. Recently, both have seen increased competition from
fiber deployments
,
wireless
, and
mobile
networks.
