Broadband - Is It For You?
By Michael Russell
Broadband internet is becoming more and more popular. It seems like everywhere you can't get away from the hype of this new technology. So how do you know if you really need it?
For starters, you have to ask yourself what you spend most of your time doing on the internet. If you simply use the internet to browse WebPages or surf the net then you may not need broadband internet. Surfing the internet with dial-up or DSL is bearable to most people, especially for those of you that currently use them. Users who will really take advantage of broadband are those who spend most of their time downloading large files, sending large e-mails or just moving large files from one computer to another over a network.
But don't take that last statement as a defining decision maker for you. Broadband does have a huge impact on how you surf the internet. Most likely, once you start using broadband you will be almost instantly hooked. To be honest and blunt about it, surfing the web on dial-up or DSL is just flat out slow. If you are trying to view a web page that contains a lot of pictures or music on it using a dial-up connection, it could take a few minutes to fully load the page.
Broadband connections do not have to deal with these long loading times on web pages. Just about anything that is put on web pages these days will average out to about a few nanoseconds of loading time with broadband. If you're a hardcore surfer that may pique your interest, then again it may not. Some users don't mind the loading time. I hate to use an old cliché but this one really rings true to its name, "Once you go broadband, you will never turn back!" The speed difference is just staggering and you can immediately see it.
Imagine downloading your favorite song over the internet. Most songs average out to about 4megs, on dial-up or DSL that could take as long as 30 minutes to an hour. With broadband, you can get it, in most cases, in under a minute. This holds true for any type of file transfers you may be doing, both over the internet and through a network.
Most of the average computer users don't have or need a network, but businesses usually depend on getting information from one computer to another as fast as possible. Often they have all their computers set up on a huge network. If the network used a dial-up connection, file transfers would be so slow that employees would start sending a large file and be able to call it a day. If the file size was really large it may still not be done by the time they go to work the next day.
There is one catch to using broadband; you have to share resources. Each provider is set up to give out a certain amount of access to its subscribers. The more people that are using broadband in your area, the slower your connection will get. Keep that in mind when looking at broadband and pay attention to the area you're in. You might even want to ask your broadband provider what the peak times are for when users typically use the connection to avoid slow downs.
