Sparklight (formerly Cable ONE) Network Comparison
Sparklight (formerly Cable ONE) uses cable to deliver service, meaning that the coaxial lines traditionally used for cable TV have been adapted to transmit digital broadband data. This is similar to the other major wired technologies for Internet access, DSL and fiber optics.

The main benefit of a setup like Sparklight (formerly Cable ONE)’s is that it allows them to connect to a wide subscriber base at a relatively low startup cost, as opposed to building out fiber to every customer, which can cost thousands of dollars per address, or $1 Billion to achieve wide coverage in a mid-size city. Cable is one of the more popular connection types in the US since it combines high bandwidth with low cost and is widely available in urban and suburban areas.
