Is it true that cable Internet services use a shared network platform while DSL services provide a dedicated line to my home?
Unless otherwise specified in the DSL package, DSL services dedicate a line from your home to the provider’s central office, but that is where the dedicated connection ends and the bandwidth sharing begins. Internet traffic from your neighborhood meets at the provider’s central office. Customers then battle for a connection to a local ISP that is shared by residential users and possibly businesses. ImOn operates its own network that connects to the Internet at multiple locations. The network is based on a revolutionary network management model that is designed to overcome the performance limitations of the Internet.
