Can I use existing hardware for other types of Broadband
No. All different Broadband Types will use their own unique hardware (Modems, Routers etc…) and will not be compatible with other types. E.g. Cable hardware is not compatible with ADSL, ADSL will not be compatible with Satellite, and Dial Up hardware is not compatible with ADSL. _There might be an exception with some ADSL modems being compatible with ADSL2+, as some of the later models are compatible with both ADSL types._
