Choosing between Dial Up, Cable, DSL or Wireless can
be intimidating if you don't know your facts.
How Internet Services Compare: Dial Up
- Requires internal or external computer modem
- Surfing speed dependant on connection speed.
- Connections vary from 28.8 to 56k
Dial up connections are slow compared to other types available. When
you consider the average web page is approximately 50 kilobytes in
size, it would take approximately seven seconds to display this page
with a dial up connection.
How Internet Services Compare: DSL
- Increased cost for service
- Additional equipment required
- FASTER downloads and uploads (due to digital transfer of data)
of 256kbps/128/kbps to 1Mbps/256/kbps. The two figures,
256kbps/128kbps represent the expected speed at which you can
download content (view a page, download a file, music, etc.) or
upload content
- Uses existing telephone line (if DSL service is available in
your area)
- Always connected - which can cause a problem if you do not
have updated adequate anti virus software and a good firewall to
protect your data files
How Internet Services Compare: Cable
- Does not require a telephone line
- Allows you to be able to make/receive telephone calls while on
the internet
- Increased cost
- Requires additional equipment
- Always connected - as with DSL and you should maintain updated
anti virus protection as well as a good firewall to protect your
personal files and other information against hackers
Once you have decided on the connection which is
best for you, your next step is to compare each provider and select
the company which will deliver the best quality service package to
fit your budget.
One of the low cost service providers I would
suggest you look into is NetZero.
This company offers it's members unlimited access
service for under $10 a month.
Anther low cost service provider is JUNO.
Offering it's members unlimited web access, JUNO is
almost identical to NetZero in services.
For high speed at a GREAT price, once again, NetZero
and JUNO offer the most bang for your inernet surfing dollar.
If you are a frequent traveler, you know how
devastating it can be not to be able to access your email or surf
the web while away from home. Complete with a vast inventory of
local sign on numbers around the country, Earthlink, another well
known internet service provider, not only offers great dial up but
also offers it's members the option to upgrade to high speed
internet.
So.... get out some paper and a pen and see for yourself how various
internet services compare when it comes to delivering the technology
you need at a price you can afford.
