what is the difference between cable and dial up modem?

Question

so the dial up modem allows you to access the Internet by converting digital data into analog signals that can travel through the telephone lines , and on the receiving end that modem will convert thous analog signals into digital data which your computer can understand so my question is does cable modem work the same way ?

Answer 1

So essentially , yes it works similarly except that the frequencies used on the analog side of the cable modem correspond to a cable tv channel which are at much higher frequencies than those used on a conventional phone line.
