What is Cable Broadband

Cable Broadband is made from co-ax material which greatly increases bandwidth limits. Higher speeds and a broader capacity allows users to bundle their Internet with PAY TV and VoIP services which can also run simultaneously through the same connection without interference. Over the previous decade Cable has become a popular alternative for Broadband Internet services and is still rapidly growing. It's available in most metropolitan locations and currently serviced by two Providers, namely BigPond & Optus.
