A cable modem connected to a cable TV network or communal aerial system can be used to connect to the internet. If the aerial system can handle two-way communications, it can also send data to the internet. Using a cable modem, a user can be on the internet and receive radio and TV programmes simultaneously. The maximum speed achievable using cable modems varies according to the system. For example: it can be set to 512 kbits for download from the internet ('downstream capacity') and 128 kbits upload.
