High
Speed Internet
How
fast is it?
With GEUS
high speed cable access you will fly down the Internet superhighway with
access speeds of up to 6 megabits per second (60 to 100 times faster
than
a standard 56 kb telephone modem).
The table below compares cable download access time with telephone modems.

(Note: The GEUS home page is 72 k. It will load slightly faster than
the
"Typical 100k Web Page" listed above.)
Our cable network divides the city into nodes.
To prevent deterioration in the speed of service as the number of system
subscribers increases, GEUS
will limit each node in the network to a maximum of 250 subscribers, creating
additional nodes as necessary.
