Cable Vs. DSL

August 9th, 2007 · No Comments

Cable vs. DSL: The SpeedsThe topic of “which is better and faster” has been a highly debated topic, and still there doesn’t appear to be a clear winner.
 DSL offers users a choice of speeds ranging from 144 Kbps to 1.5Mbps. Cable modem download speeds are typically up to 2 times faster than 1.5Mbps DSL, but the reason there is no clear speed winner is because cable technology is based on shared bandwidth, with many factors influencing a users download speed. With shared bandwidth the speed fluctuates depending on the number of subscribers on the network. With DSL, the connection is yours and not shared, and you tend to have a more constant speed.
This is one reason why cable Internet providers don’t often publish speed information. In more rural areas with fewer subscribers, you’re bound to have faster download speeds than a subscriber in a metropolitan center. Because cable modem speeds fluctuate, it is difficult to gauge an exact download speed. On the upload stream, however, cable and DSL are closely matched for speed. Both DSL and cable Internet speeds are largely dependent on the service provider and either the distance away from the switching station you are or how many subscribers are in your immediate area.

Space Saver

August 9th, 2007 · No Comments

Conventional mini towers can present a space problem in some areas; especially in the treatment rooms. For example we recently installed a new rear delivery cabinet like this one from DentalEz. It has a center console that looks like a perfect place for a computer. However the standard size computer tower wouldn’t fit. We solved the problem with a slim line tower. These towers are almost half the width of a conventional tower. See the link below for the Dell version of a slim tower.
