Using a Modem For an Internet Connection - Part II
March 10th, 2010 |
Another very important aspect to consider for a modem is the speed at which it works. The truth is that we are all in hurry one way or the other and will want everything around us to reflect this. A snail’s speed internet connection will make its users very sick. It is therefore not useful to subscribe to such internet services. I understand we cannot dispute the fact that broadband is better when compared with modem. Possibility also exists that we get good results modem; only that we have to be keen about the speed of our choice modem as this will determine whether we will be sick of the internet connection or not.
The major issue here is the speed of your modem as said earlier. It is also referred to as data transfer speed that is expressed in bits (not bytes!) per second or “bps”. It may take up to ten bits to transfer a character. So a modem that operates at 3500bps (3.5kps) would transfer roughly 350 characters per second. That is very close to a page of text in roughly eight seconds. At 29.9kbs, you could send the same page of text in approximately two-thirds of a second
There are modems with speed range of 14.4kps; this will only browse the World Wide Web. A modem with better speed might cost a little more, but it will save you some online charges and give you the value for your money. Modem standard is now well above 56k, especially with the advent of 3G and the High Speed Downlink Access (HSPDA) network technology. With these latest innovations you can download at above 56kps and upload very efficiently in the same manner. I believe you will not still require the expertise of a soothsayer in order to select your modem.
It will also be very important to make you my reader understand that due to phone line dynamics and momentary users on the network, you may not connect at the specified speed, it has also been observed that the effectiveness of your internet connection through the modem is a function of your telephone network operator. Studies have shown that the services of these operators differ a great deal most especially in quality. It has also been discovered that cable telephone network is more dependable than wireless; probably because the latter is subject to the vagaries of radio transmission. Nevertheless, it is feasible you will get well at good workable speed.
