What is the biggest
feature of broadband over dial-up Internet access?
Speed! When surfing the web, most
web pages are displayed nearly immediately. Large
audio and video files and computer software can be
downloaded in a fraction of the time that it takes
using a conventional dial-up connection.
Can I obtain VoIP
telephone service via my broadband Internet
connection?
Yes. Inexpensive and feature rich
local and long distance phone service is now
available from a number of VoIP service providers
using “always-on” high-speed Internet connections. A
normal wired or wireless telephone is simply plugged
into a special telephone device that is in turn
connected to the broadband Internet connection. For
more information, please refer to
www.Broadband-Telephones.com.
How does a broadband
impact computer gaming?
A high-speed connection will
significantly enhance interactive multimedia
applications such as multiplayer gaming.
How does a high-speed
Internet connection affect streaming media?
Live and on-demand television and
video webcasts are much sharper and do not lag as
they frequently do with a dial-up connection. Audio
broadcasts are often as clear as listening to a CD.
Continual improvements in streaming technologies
promise to deliver HDTV quality video by leveraging
broadband Internet connections. Please refer to
www.broadband-television.com for more details.
Can broadband help
telecommuters?
Yes. With VPN (Virtual Private
Network) software, broadband will make your home an
extension of the office LAN. You will experience
high-speed access from home as though you were
sitting at your desk in the office.
