Hardware,
Internet
Anyone using the high-speed internet connection that’s 5X faster using a
regular modem? I’m thinking about ditching the DSL because of high phone bills. Either going back to modem or VOIP. There are several services that claim their modem is 5X faster.
The so-called “high-speed dial-up” internet connections that state they are comparable to broadband are plainly stated…NOT. Your modem, regardless of what the provider does, it limited to the bandwidth it can handle. The provider promises 5 times the speed by compressing the data, thereby reducing the quality of the graphics among other things.
When it comes to downloads and uploads, there can be no compression, therefore no speed enhancement. You will still operate at a max of 56k. A great example: The other day, I downloaded a file that was close to 500mb. The estimated time to download over 56k was 18 hours…my download time was about 30 minutes. Also, there is no way possible to use VOIP with a dial-up connection at this point in time.
VOIP phone companies such as Vonage, require a broadband connection, such as DSL or Cable. You can use either one. By eliminating my phone company altogether and just having my cable internet bill and my Vonage bill has saved me a considerable amount of money.
