Access the Web--Faster!
So you wanna know why you should shell out the extra cash for broadband Internet access huh? Your dial-up is working so well, why should you have to pay the extra 20 bucks a month for broadband? Well smarty, here are the facts. Decide for yourself.
Dial-up users connect at 56 kbps (kilobits per second). Broadband users connect at 512 kpbs up to 2 Mbps. Do some quick math and you’ll notice that you’ll be connecting to the Internet 10 times quicker than your normal dial-up connection. Ok, so I failed math in high school, but you’ll notice that the speed is actually 9.1 times faster. Most broadband providers always round up because it sounds that much faster!
Faster, More Convenient Internet is Yours
This means that Web pages will download a lot faster than you’re used to. In fact, since you’ve been living in the dial-up dark ages, once you have a broadband Internet connection, Web pages will appear almost instantly. This also means that large e-mail files, video clips, and MP3’s will all download at a quicker rate as well.
Another benefit of having broadband Internet access is one line for both the Internet and telephone or television. No more tripping over those long telephone cords or having to hang up on your friends to surf the Web. Broadband Internet allows you to browse the World Wide Web while making important telephone calls at the same time.
Connect with Broadband
By plugging in a filter or sometimes called a splitter into all phone sockets that will be used, both the voice and the Internet will be accessible through the one phone line. All you’ll need to connect to the Internet is a broadband modem, a filter, and a data cable. Set up is easy and you’ll still be able to receive those pesky sales calls from dial-up providers in the future.
So for future reference, next time they call just say, “no thank you.”
