It’s a high tech, high speed world, and we want our technology fast and furious. Dial-up internet may have been a great technological advancement in its time, but the world has moved far beyond it, and the needs of the average internet user far outstrip the capacities of dial-up. Free up your phone line and enjoy higher speed, higher quality internet by switching over to satellite broadband. If you remain unconvinced, read on to learn why you should consider making the change.
As the name implies, dial-up internet really is dialing. It uses your phone line to make the connection, which means that the phone line cannot be used for anything else while it is connected to the internet. This means that while you are online, you could be missing important calls. And if you forget to sign off the internet when you are done, it goes on blocking your calls and racking up the bill. It means that if you are expecting a phone call soon, you know you can’t sign online. Perhaps the worst of all, though, is when someone in your household is using the dial-up internet and you are not aware of it, and you pick up the phone to make a call – and are met with that abominable cacophony of screeching technology that tells you the phone line is already in use.
Switching over to satellite completely eliminates these telephone woes. Connecting to the web via satellite will no more disturb your phone lines than does watching your satellite TV – they use completely unrelated networks to provide their services, so there is no usage conflict. When you pick up your phone you can breathe easy knowing you will never, ever hear that terrible noise again. You can chat on the phone while you work on the computer, which can be especially handy for those who work from home.
