DSL Access Now Universally Available
DSL access is now available in more areas than ever. If you?re thinking about getting internet access or upgrading your dial-up connection, this is an excellent time to look at DSL. DSL, or Digital Subscriber Line, is an always-on, fast internet connection that uses (in most cases) your existing phone line for your Internet connection. However, your phone signal can still pass through the line! That?s because of the first word in DSL, digital. Your phone signal is analog. DSL is, of course, digital. The digital signal can carry much more information in a smaller space than an analog signal. Because of the two different types of signal and the small space requirement for DSL, your existing phone line can carry both signals at the same time. You may need a small filter attached to your phone line to quiet the analog signal so it doesn?t interfere with the DSL signal. Using DSL internet access, your connection is always available, and always on. DSL access is 25 to 50 times faster than a dial-up connection. Once you switch you?ll notice an immediate difference and you?ll never look back. A DSL modem is required as part of the installation, but this is usually provided by the Internet Service Provider, or ISP. When considering DSL access, find out how far your house is from the central office, or ?hub?. The farther out you are, the farther the information has to travel, and the slower your response times will be. It?s a minimal amount, however, and won?t get slower than dial-up unless it?s completely down for some reason. Also, a DSL line can take in information faster than it can send it out. You?re probably only going to notice this if you?re uploading large files, like big digital pictures, to somewhere on the Internet or sending them via e-mail. But downloading new programs or updates to existing programs should pose no problem to your DSL line. DSL Access is available in far more areas than it was even a couple of years ago. Because of that, competition is fierce and prices have fallen. DSL is more expensive than a dial-up internet connection, but typically cheaper than cable internet. With DSL you can stream music and movies without freezing up your computer. You won?t grow old and die waiting for a graphics-heavy web page to load. You may be able to work at home and access your information at work. I know?oh, goody. But the benefits of DSL extend far beyond being able to download that CSI episode you missed. Time is money, and for those with a home-based business or who do have to work from home either occasionally or on a regular basis, DSL access can have a huge impact on your productivity. Businesses these days have all kinds of databases, spreadsheets and attached files that can either tie up your dial-up connection for literally hours, or simply not download at all. If your business or productivity depends on getting that 97-page spreadsheet or reviewing that PowerPoint presentation before tomorrow morning?s meeting, you?d better have a DSL connection. Dial-up ain?t gonna make it. Check your phone book and call around to find out what companies offer DSL access in your area and what they charge for fees. See who?s offering specials for new customers. Talk to friends and co-workers who have DSL Internet access and ask what company they use. DSL isn?t the new kid on the block any more?which is good news for you. Speeds are increasing while costs are dropping. With that combination, if DSL access is available in your area, this is the perfect opportunity to sign up.
