If your computer or laptop already has a network card or is built in, you may use it. If your computer or laptop does not have a network card, you can purchase one from most retail establishments that sell computer hardware and accessories. Many cable modems can also utilize USB connections rather than standard network/ethernet ports, so this is also an option. I've heard that DSL is a dedicated line and cable is a shared line. Is that true ? That is partially true. Cable lines are shared within a neighborhood and if a number of subscribers in the same neighborhood all ask to download files at the same time, performance will be slowed. What the DSL service providers are not telling you is that while DSL subscribers do not share the line in their neighborhood, they do share the link between their own central office and the network backbone, so the bottleneck still occurs during peak usage - it just occurs in a different place in the network. Also, DSL slows down the further you get from their central office. Will I need to use my telephone modem to connect to the Newwave High-Speed Internet Service?
