Well Prasanth there are advantages of Cable and wireless modem.
First lets see Cable modem Advantages :
1) Cable Internet access is as cost-effective as dial-up services, even though dial-up services are significantly slower. For one fixed monthly fee, you get unlimited Internet access without having to pay the "hidden costs" of an extra telephone line or additional usage charges. Often, the cost of a second phone line is the difference between the cost of cable modem service and dial-up service.
2) The peak Internet connection speed using a cable modem is over 100 times faster than a standard 28.8 modem. This gives you true multimedia capabilities, as well as access in seconds to things on the Internet that normally would take minutes. Cable modems will be able to receive data at up to 10 Mbps and send data at speeds up to 2 Mbps
3) Cable modem service is always on. With a cable modem, you will receive a constant stream of information to your computer. You can leave your modem on 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You will not experience busy signals, dial-up errors, or disconnects due to inactivity.
Now the second one Wireless Modem:
1) Convenience: The wireless nature of such networks allows users to access network resources from nearly any convenient location within their primary networking environment (home or office). With the increasing saturation of laptop-style computers, this is particularly relevant.
2) Mobility: With the emergence of public wireless networks, users can access the internet even outside their normal work environment. Most chain coffee shops, for example, offer their customers a wireless connection to the internet at little or no cost.
3) Productivity: Users connected to a wireless network can maintain a nearly constant affiliation with their desired network as they move from place to place. For a business, this implies that an employee can potentially be more productive as his or her work can be accomplished from any convenient location.
4) Deployment: Initial setup of an infrastructure-based wireless network requires little more than a single access point. Wired networks, on the other hand, have the additional cost and complexity of actual physical cables being run to numerous locations (which can even be impossible for hard-to-reach locations within a building).
5) Expandability: Wireless networks can serve a suddenly-increased number of clients with the existing equipment. In a wired network, additional clients would require additional wiring.
6) Cost: Wireless networking hardware is at worst a modest increase from wired counterparts. This potentially increased cost is almost always more than outweighed by the savings in cost and labor associated to running physical cables.
