Dial-up Internet in par with Satellite Internet
June 28, 2009
Across the country, many rural homes still doesn’t have access to DSL or cable despite of the wide popularity of broadband in the country. Dial up and satellite are the two types of internet offered in rural areas.
In comparison with satellite broadband dial up internet connections are more advantageous. Price is the most crucial factor that makes a glaring difference of the two. The dial up connection is available at relatively low cost than satellite connections. For dial up connection you need to pay little or in some cases no additional fee including set up or equipment fees. Satellite internet costs more, apart from that you need to spent money for buying or leasing the equipment for its installation. Repair plans, technical support, or contract fees are other expenses incurred. The cost for satellite internet is huge and you cannot compare it with the price of dial up connections. Dial up modem costs moderately less and often it is installed on the computer. All you will need is a land line and a phone cord.
Other two factors other than price are reliability and convenience, which makes dial up connections superior than satellite. Satellite internet depends on the installed satellite dish which limits flexibility in use. Whereas in the case of dial up internet, you can take this service on vacation or when you are travelling as the dialup services is available to any computer that has a landline phone.
Though satellite internet boasts faster broadband speed as it cannot be relied upon. In case of severe whether conditions the speed is suddenly put to an end and might damage the expensive satellite. Homes that have a clear view of the southern sky can only use the satellite connections. Satellite connection cannot be accessed for those staying in wooded area or homes amongst large buildings.
Setting up satellite will take several weeks of labour, and will cost high including repairs. Whereas for dialup connection all you will need is configure your computer and rest is as simple as a phone call. In short dial up connections are economical, reliable and an easy way.
