Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

DOCSIS 3.0 allows for channel bonding, which means multiple channels can be combined to increase download and upload speeds.

Answer: B
 Upstream data rates are usually lower than downstream data rates in cable modem connections because cable providers allocate more bandwidth to downstream data.

Answer: C
 Although DOCSIS 3.0 provides increased speed, it does not provide added security on its own. Additional security measures must be taken to ensure a secure connection.

Answer: D
 Cable modem connections are not dedicated lines, meaning that bandwidth is shared among multiple users in a given area which affects speed and connection quality.
