Aside from telephone companies, cable companies are the leading internet service providers in the market. However, telephone companies use existing phone lines to distribute Internet, whereas cable companies use TV cable lines or satellites. These two different technologies require different types of modems to facilitate your connection to the Internet. If you need to set up and connect one of your computers to a cable modem, but don't know how, you can learn how to connect with ease.

Community Q&A
- QuestionShould we pay money to cable operators?
Allan CramerCommunity AnswerIf you're meaning pay as in "tip" them, no. If they go above and beyond, then by all means, if you want to, and only if they accept. But any bills or operations are usually billed to you by the cable company directly.
Tips
- In most cases, you don't really need to set up the cable modem yourself. The cable company will send a technician over to connect your modem.Thanks
- Cable TV and Internet connection are two different kinds of service. Using a cable modem on your cable TV connection won't work unless you have subscribed to the Internet service.Thanks
- Cable modems you plug into a router and put the mac address of the modem into the router. Then the router will use the modem to access distant areas just like standard telecom modems do. A network enabled operating system will do the same.Thanks
