Understanding Broadband - Are You Ready To Upgrade?
Are you ready to upgrade your residential service to DSL or business service to real broadband or T1? Well, the answer lies in what you need. Before you can realize your needs, you must understand more of what the word broadband really means. Below I will try to give you some realtechnical terms broken down for a better understanding.
DSL Internet is a Simple and Easy Way to Get Fast Internet Service
DSL - which stands for Digital Subscriber Line - is a great way to get high-speed internet service, without having to get a cable modem, or live in an area that has cable lines. DSL providers have very fast and comparatively cheap internet connectivity.
All Dads want to speed around fool.com, right? Well, being wired for speed increasingly means Internet access via cable modem or the local telephone company.
Comcast Opens Itself Up to Juno
Comcast announced that it will allow Juno to offer its services over Comcast's cable lines beginning next year, on a test basis. This makes it the third cable company to voluntarily move toward "open access." For Juno and Comcast, it looks like a good deal. For poor Excite@Home, though, it may mean that the company will lose its exclusive footing earlier than it expected. The company has no choice but to just deal with it.
Internet businesses continue to go public at a record pace, with over sixty initial public offerings (IPOs) behind us this year, and at least eighty more in the works. The many new offerings serve to dilute demand for Internet stocks by spreading the demand over the many options.
The Internet service provider did improve its earnings to a profit as opposed to last year's first-quarter loss, with net income coming in at $33.3 million, or $0.22 per share -- which does indeed sound heartening. However, you have to dig further down in the press release for the sales figure -- and when you find it, you realize that EarthLink's total revenues fell 4.8% to $334.7 million compared with the same period last year.
Open Access: AOL v. Excite@Home
The Open Access dispute comes down to something simple: When you finally get the opportunity to sign up for high-speed Internet access via a cable modem, do you want to have to pay an unnecessary toll to @Home? More concretely, should you be able to make one payment to AOL (or whoever your ISP is), or should you be required to make two ultimately more costly payments (one to @Home and one to your ISP) to get faster access to your current service plus unwanted access to @Home?
Some DSL Broadband Definitions
Often too many people get confused with all the definitions, here we have explained in easy to understand terms.
