Looking to Upgrade From Dial-Up?

If you're a dial-up Internet customer you know the frustration of waiting for what seems like an eternity for your computer to connect to the Internet - or just to move from one site to another when browsing the Web. And because your dial-up connects through your phone line, you can't use your computer and your phone at the same time.

To top it all off, you've probably been hearing a lot about the blazing fast connection speeds of wideband high-speed Internet service and as well as the network reliability offered by cable Internet providers these days.

Isn't it time to put all the dial-up frustration behind you and switch to cable high-speed Internet? [ continued below ]

Cable Internet Offers Extreme Fast Connection Speeds

At 40 to 56 kbps, dial-up is the slowest Internet connection around. Loading Web pages and downloading files is an exercise in extreme patience. But with the advent of wideband technology, cable Internet is reaching incredible speeds of 50 to 60 Mbps in many markets, with higher speeds on the way. If you don't live in a wideband accessible area, cable Internet's broadband connections speeds range from 1.5 to 20 Mbps - and that's 50 to 70 times faster than your dial-up speed. Imagine moving from one Web page to another almost instantly, and downloading large files, movies, and music in a fraction of the time it takes with now.

Cable Internet Easy Access and Network Reliability

A cable Internet connection is separate from your phone line, so you don't have to make the choice of using either your computer or your phone. And your cable connection is always on. This means you don't have to wait while your computer dials to find an Internet connection. Your cable Internet connection is ready when you are 24/7/365. And since your cable Internet connection is separate from your phone line, you're Web browsing will never be interrupted by an incoming phone call.
