ACS vs. the Cable Company
Why ACS High-Speed Internet is the best choice

Get Consistently High-Speed Internet
You should never have to share your Internet connection. When you sign up for Internet with the cable company, that's exactly what happens.you share your connection with neighbors-that means your speeds get slower as more neighbors log on.

ACS High-Speed Internet always gives you your own dedicated line-that means consistently high-speed Internet every time. Find out more about the difference between ACS High-Speed Internet and Internet from the cable company.

Get the Fastest Upload Speeds
The web used to be about sifting through tons of information posted by other people. Now it's about connecting, sharing, and customizing with every multi-media tool imaginable.

Unfortunately, most Internet providers, including the cable company, didn't anticipate this evolution. When they built their network, they only focused on providing fast download speeds and really skimped when it came to providing fast upload speeds.

When we built our network, we were thinking about the future. That's why ACS High-Speed Internet provides the fast download and upload speeds. In fact, our upload speeds are two times faster than cable Internet. That means you can upload your pictures, videos, business documents, presentations, or whatever else you might want to share.in half the time!

ACS High-Speed Internet Gives You Consistently High Speeds Every Time
Unlike the cable company, ACS provides consistent high speeds every time because we offer a dedicated rather than a shared service. You are connected directly to your local wire center, which means that your line is dedicated to your traffic only.


Cable company Internet service is a shared or community resource. Cable Access plant architecture consists of neighborhood spurs and nodes to route and boost data traffic out of your neighborhood, on to the main cable fiber plant and into the Cable ISP. This is commonly known as the "last mile" transport and is a bottleneck in the local cable plant architecture. The more of your neighbors who log on, the slower your Internet speeds.
