Filed under DSL
Are you tired of your internet speed connection? Is it time to make a change? There are a lot of types of connections to the internet. Choose the one that best suit your needs and location!
The Internet has a ‘backbone’ which is a series of high speed and high capacity networks. In order to have the highest internet speed connection, you would have to be directly connected to it.
A direct connection to the backbone of the Internet can only be achieved by ISPs (Internet Service Provider), due to the high price of the connection. ISPs sell you only a bit of that speed.
There are a lot of methods to connect to the Internet:
The fastest internet connection speed is by fiber optical connection (also known as T1 or T3). They are highly expensive!
Your broadband connection speed is influenced by a lot of factors. The speed that your ISP is providing, is the MAXIMUM speed that it can reach. For example, if you connect via modem, using a 56Kbps connection, theoretically you can have 56Kbps at most, but in fact your Internet connection speed is about 2-3 Kbps.
There are a lot of ways to test connection speed. If you think yours is too slow find out – How fast your internet connection is today?
