slows the speed the more users are on the system.
This will occur at the peak times for example late in the evenings after the
work day is over when many people will be accessing the Internet. Somewhat
misleadingly, often the cable company would estimate connection speeds that are
based on the thinking that you are using the service. But that is clearly not
the case.
The newest broadband service is fiber-optic,
which is the fastest Internet connection thus far. However, this type of
Internet service is still in its infancy as its service areas are quite limited
and because the laying down of the fiber-optic cable takes a while to complete.
Wherever it is available, the cost not only competes with that of DSL and
cable, but it provides a much faster connection than both of those services.
The last and slowest broadband service is
provided by satellite. Although this is a good replacement for dial-up for
those people living in remote rural areas, the installation costs are quite
high, but the ongoing monthly charges are competitive to both cable and DSL.
