4.3.2. Ordering cablemodem or residential ADSL service
Typically, your cable company or ADSL provider will install a configured cablemodem or ADSL router at your site. If you do not
have cable access, your cable company will install it for you. ADSL connects to the ISP via a conventional phone line. If you require
an additional phone line, it is typical for you to arrange that yourself. There are three possible configurations when ordering
