Wireless Technology (WiFi) and Broadband
Most areas in the world now provide broadband instead of dial up for connecting to internet. The benefits of broadband over dial up include:
- System is always "on"/no need to dial into ISP every time you want access
- Connection rate/data transfer rate is much higher (for instance broadband operates at 11 000 kbps compared to the dial up rate of 60 kbps)
- There is a monthly rate with broadband (dial up is charged per hour of usage)
- It is possible to use telephone at the same as internet with broadband/line isn't tied up
- Broadband permits other facilities like "Skype"/VOIP
