Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What if I don’t subscribe to cable TV?
A. If cable TV is available in your area, data service may be made available with or without cable
TV service. Contact your local cable company for complete information on cable services,
including high-speed internet access.
Q. How do I get the system installed?
A. Professional installation from your cable provider is strongly recommended. They will ensure
proper cable connection to the modem and your computer. However, your retailer may have
offered a self installation kit, including the necessary software to communicate with your cable
ISP.
Q. Can I watch TV, surf the Internet, and talk to my friends through the Cable Modem at the
same
time?
A. Absolutely!
Q. What do you mean by “Broadband?”
A. Simply put, it means you’ll be getting information through a “bigger pipe,” with more
bandwidth, than a standard phone line can offer. A wider, “broader” band means more
information, more quickly.
Q. What is EURO-DOCSIS/DOCSIS and what does it mean?
A. “Data Over Cable Service Interface Specifications” is the industry standard that most cable
companies are adopting as they upgrade their systems. Should you ever decide to move, the
Cable Modem will work with all upgraded cable systems that are
EURO-DOCSIS/DOCSIS-compliant.
