Abstract
Cable television networks offer access rates from 56 Kbps up to 10 Mbps to residential Internet users. With viable solutions now available for ingress noise - the major technical obstacle that, has prevented the deployment of CATV systems - network providers are moving to solve remaining issues in the areas of security, service, and reliability and to enter the highly competitive residential access marketplace
