How Broad is Broadband?
By Michael Russell
What is broadband? For those who wish to upgrade their internet service provide, this salient question may be the first thing that come to our minds. But the one important question should be: What can broadband do for me that dial-up cant?
Broadband has been taking the internet service provider wars by storm. There are tremendous benefits for broadband that individuals and business are rapidly switching to this internet pipeline. Broadband is a form of telecommunications by which a broad range of frequencies is available to wire information. The most common forms of broadband are cable and DSL. With the advent of broadband, the dial-up modem is slowly being shunted aside. Here are a few reasons why more individuals and companies are switching to broadband.
Broadband is built for speed. Because of the wide range of frequencies available, data through the internet can be multiplexed, which allows the quick transfer and delivery of information. In fact, broadband on average is around 20 times faster than dial-up. Dial-up is usually 28-56 kilobits per second (kps) and broadband is around 1500kps.
Speed is important for content delivery, particularly media. For instance, media such as videos and music demand speeds for adequate streaming. Or even popular sites such as youtube.com require a fast connection. Games, such as online role-playing games, hog connection bandwidth to adequately play online.
Broadband provides users with more than just speed. One great advantage is that its always on and connected. In the world of dial-up, one needs to connect through a phone line. So to connect you must dial-up, get a handshake and wait for the connection to be available. This process could take up to one minute, or even more, causing frustration. With broadband, there is no attempt to dial-up to the server. As long as the physical connection is maintained, the connection does not need to be dialed up. All one needs to do is have the computer connected via a LAN cable, or wireless.
This alternative service also frees up your home phone. Sometimes with dial-up, the phone line competes with the dial-up line. As such, users can only use the phone line one at a time. With broadband, access is kept separate; which means that you can still maintain a dedicated phone line. Who would want to lose important phone calls?
Can you save money with this broadband? Most will think that broadband might be a little costly; indeed, it is. However, this service does allow for Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) for a cheap price. VOIP is a cost-effective way to provide IP telephony services through the delivery of voice information over the Internet. In other words, VOIP can replace your normal telephone. Some save over 50% of their phone bills with a VOIP subscription.
If you have more than one computer, you can find that its not easy to share a dial-up line. Usually, only one computer can use the same line. Broadband, however, allows more than one connection. In fact, theres really no limit at all as long as bandwidth isnt full. Dial-up may require additional lines, if there is more than one computer needing access.
Broadband provides many advantages over dial-up. Although youll pay a premium for its service, the benefits outweigh the costs for most people.
