Re: Internet Accelerators.
they might help somewhat but if you can get cable or dsl get them. there is only so much information that a phone line can transfer. with the coax or fiberoptic lines the data transfer rate is much higher.<br /><br />I was paying <br /><br /> $25 land line phone<br /> $20 dial up service<br /> $10 i think was what you are talking about<br /> $15 other charges on my bill<br /> ----------------<br /> $70 <br /><br />I could download at a MAX of 6.0 kilobytes per second.<br /><br />Now i did away with all of that and got my internet service through my cable provider.<br /><br /> $29 cell phone<br /> $39 cable isp<br /> ----------------<br /> $68 total<br /><br />I can now download at an average of 250-300 kilobytes per second. copared to the 6 with the dial up this is much!!!!! faster. Also the cable or dsl should be broadband, meaning you can run a network off of the line. having multiple computers online at the same time. I have a router hooked up, i run my two PC's directly with the ethernet cables and use my wireless network card to run my laptop. I can be out at the garage working on my boat and asking questions here at this site at the same time with the wireless capability of the laptop.<br /><br />But all of this is useless to you if you are in a place that dialup is the only option. My mother lives out in the sticks and that is her problem.
