| Here is our take on various
connections
Cable - Speeds vary dramatically 1-5
Mbps - plus there can be a serious slowdown due to congestion from too
many users. Accelerator software can help increase web speed with
various optimizing routines. Many cable companies offer a special
combined deal with cable TV and internet access together. Usually you
have the same IP number unlike dialup modems where you are usually
assigned a different number every time you connect. So with cable, you
usually have less anonymity and more security risk as your internet
connection is on constantly and hackers are more able to easily zero
in on your constant IP designation.
DSL - Various
setups 1.4+ Mbps. The speed can also fluctuate depending on the
distance from the central connection switch. With cable connection
slow-down a growing problem, many users are seeking a good DSL
provider.
ISDN -
Dual-channel is 128 Kbps. Single-Channel is 64Kbps. Integrated
Services Digital Network (ISDN) includes integrated services to help
speed up fax delivery, etc.
56K Dialup -
Usually much less than 56Kbps. Dialup speeds vary by the quality of
the phone line and the many different user configurations. You can
connect to your ISP account from most computers. When you disconnect,
you are truly disconnected unlike most always on high speed plans
which pose somewhat of a security risk. Usually you will be assigned a
slightly different IP number every time you connect providing some
anonymity. Web accelerator software designed to boost your speed can
really help with these connections. |
