Cable Internet is marketed by traditional television operators, leveraging their existing coaxial cable networks. Cascade-area customers of cable ISPs such as XFINITY from Comcast generally pick cable because of the combination of low pricing for workable speeds. (Compared to DSL, anyway.)

DSL underperforms when compared with all other wired broadband infrastructures except dial-up.

Using direct agreements with providers, we are able to cross-validate this data with privatized data reported via telecoms.
