can i use a regular cable connection from a cable company as internet?

>can i use my cable connection from direct tv or dish network as a internet connection by using a cable modem by just using a regular tv programed cable. using a cable modem will i get internet access<

No!

Neither Directv or Dish Network provide internet service themselves. They do offer packaged deals with other companies, but you STILL would not internet service through their dish.

The first responder is a total fool.

>so i if i bought a cable modem & used a spliter and pluged the cable into the modem it wouldnt give internet at all<

That is what I said. If you use a splitter on a Directv system, you will also not even have a functioning Directv system.

NO internet at all most sat companys like to use DSL service very few use cable internet since the cable company is there Competition ......

Yes if the modem is activated By the company and has internet
