Broadband connection, unlike the old dial-up
internet connection, will not engage your phone line when in use. In fact,
having a broadband connection makes it possible for you to obtain an Internet
phone service so you will no longer need the traditional phone line at all.
Another great benefit of a broadband connection
is that you are constantly connected to the Internet. You are quickly able to
connect with your work's intranet and email in a matter of seconds.
Many people considering between these broadband
Internet service options generally narrow the search to the most popular
services which are DSL and cable. A good approach when researching your options
would be to ask those in the area you are considering, which service they are
using and how it is working for them.
Even though cable broadband Internet service
offers a speedy internet connection, this fast speed will not be realized if
the connection itself cannot be relied on. For example, the cable connection
you receive depends on the shared bandwidth, the number of users on the system
at any time, and the latency on the network.
The bandwidth is just one factor that determines
the Internet connection's speed. It is a measure of the quantity of data that
enters the network over a period of time, and is measured in bps, or bits per
second. The greater the data flow, the better the network Internet connection.
In broadband connections the supported data rates are generally 300 Kbps and
higher, as opposed to the old dial-up maximum of 53Kbps.
Latency is another factor that affects the cable
Internet connection's speed. Latency refers to delays incurred in the network
data processing. A network is described as low latency if it experiences only
small delay times, and high latency if it suffers with long delays. When the
latency becomes excessive, data transmission causes a bottleneck that prevents
addition data from coming through and this effectively reduces cable's Internet
connection bandwidth. So even though the cable bandwidth of your Internet
connection is set, its effectiveness can be reduced by bottlenecks of data and
a high number of users on the system .
