dr_bob1956 Posted January 31, 2006 Author CID Share Posted January 31, 2006 So what is the fastest internet service? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshineldy Posted January 31, 2006 CID Share Posted January 31, 2006 We just signed up with Verizon FIOS for phone and internet. Tv is direct tv until the fios tv comes to our town. We got what we think was an acceptional deal. After the promotions our bill is $130.00 for the pkg. Now we will see how well it all works when all is said and done. Crossing fingers. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FGOKURULES Posted January 31, 2006 CID Share Posted January 31, 2006 Cable has a high bandwidth yield by far, which means more information at one time, but DSL is faster by means of it gets to you quicker.. Example Two cars same speed,, Dsl/MiniCoupe CABLE/Van,, the Van can hold more information just like more people, so more data at one time. Now say, two cars Van/CABLE FERRARI/DSL the dsl can move faster than the van, but that van is holding alot more information than making constant trips like DSL... Get it?

tommie gorman Posted February 1, 2006 CID Share Posted February 1, 2006 If you are really curious about satellite just take a short walk through the DirecWay part of the forum and I don't think anyone would have any doubt "CABLE PLEASE" :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: We just hate dial up that bad!!

Dark06 Posted February 2, 2006 CID Share Posted February 2, 2006 the thing about cable is the speeds are not very constand in some areas as opposed to dsl where it only chnges give or take .3 mbs down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amc11890 Posted February 2, 2006 CID Share Posted February 2, 2006 Both of which connections are shared(cable and dsl) however cable is shared with ur neighbors and dsl is shared at the telco. U may notice a more drastic speed decrease with cable during peak hours because of the fact that u r sharing the connection with ur neighbors. Dont even consider sattelite unless it is ur only option other than Dial Up(in some ways Dial up is better than SAT). I have never had SAT but I heard so many horror stories about SAT.

mrcleanshaven Posted February 2, 2006 CID Share Posted February 2, 2006 i have cable and satellite (multiple satellites due to business needs). cable is considerably faster than satellite and costs less. dsl is great where available. fios is pretty cool if you can get it. microwave wifi is also pretty good. it is really a matter of availability/needs/costs. where I live/work many of our options are either dialup or satellite. or no dialup at all in many of our industrial sites... at home, i use cable due to multiple user requierments and i do dev work on satellite for customers needs. if your budget is not a problem, get the system that best suits your bandwidth/speed needs, of course all of this based on availability. there are other considerations...
