Dial up
Internet service - the traditional way of getting an online
connection.
Dial up Internet service works by connecting a user’s
network to a public telephone network. Dial up Internet service
is just like using your phone to call a friend, except in this
case your computer ‘calls’ another computer.
Dial up Internet service does not always establish a very
good connection because it uses regular phone lines. The maximum
rate of information transfer is 56 Kbps, which is significantly
slower than using cable or DSL access to the World Wide Web.
Besides speed, dial up Internet service offers all of the
same benefits that the high speed technologies provide. It is
also a cheaper option than using cable or DSL. Some companies
even provide a high-speed accelerator that can decrease the dial
up time.
Most dial up Internet service providers offer special
features such as a personalized web page, a number of free email
accounts, web space, and a pop up ad stopper. These companies
also provide unlimited online access. Make sure that you find a
service provider that offers both online and live technical
assistance if you should require it.
Dial up Internet service - a more cost-efficient way of
accessing online resources and information.
