Computers talk like this:

"ONE ZERO ZERO ONE ZERO ZERO ONE ONE ONE ZERO!"

and ppl talk like this

"LOLLERCOASTER!!!! ^_________________^ ASL"

Neither one makes any sense but sometimes the computers replace the ONE ZERO stuff with BEEPS and BOOPS like on non-cable modems (the phone kind, aka dial-up).
Because that travels over speech wires.
Cable Modems are faster because they travel over TV.
The scrolling stuff at the bottom of CNN Headline News is fast like a cable modem.
