What Is High Speed Internet Service?
The days of slow internet connections are gradually coming to an end. Internet users are increasingly finding sources for "high speed" internet access which makes loading pages and performing downloads much faster.
What is high speed internet service? High speed internet service refers to any internet service that transfers data faster than your standard 56K telephone modem. However, high speed internet can be divided into two broad groups which for our purposes here we will call "high speed internet" and Broadband.
By this definition, "High speed internet" service uses your standard telephone dial-up modem to access the internet and ties up the telephone line while you are on the net. However, this high speed internet service is typically 4 to 5 times faster than your standard dial-up service as the result of "data compression". Typically you will pay around $5.00 more per month for high speed internet service than you will for standard dial-up service. Some internet service providers, such as AOL and Netscape, offer high speed service at no extra charge.
In comparison, broadband uses DSL (Digital Service Line), cable, satellite, or radio towers to access the
internet. Onlike "high speed internet", broadband does not tie up your telephone line while you are on the net, is up to 70 times faster than standard dial-up service and is always online. There is no need to wait for your modem to dial in to the internet whenever you want to get online. This is true even of DSL which transforms your standard copper telephone lines into digital data carriers. Broadband providers usually charge a fee for installation services and of course the monthly service fee is higher than for either standard dial-up service or high speed internet service.
Which high speed internet or broadband service is the correct one for you depends on how much you want to spend, how important download speed is to you and which services are available in your area.
