HarborNet can provide cable internet
service to any residence or commercial building that is within
certain areas of the Tacoma Public Utility Network - this includes
Tacoma and surrounding areas. Give us a call or send us an email
to see if you are eligible for cable internet service.
With cable internet, your
telephone lines are no longer required to connect to the Internet.
You will, however, need a cable modem, and either a Network Card
or a USB-to-ethernet adapter to plug into the modem. These could
be installed when HarborNet installs your new modem.
Minimum System Requirements
CPU Processor of 200mhz or greater
32mb SDRAM

Cable Modem Speed Test
To test the speed you are currently getting - only while connected to our cable network, you may use the speed test provided by the Click! Network: http://cnspeed.click-network.com/speedtest/.
