Does ADSL cost more than dial-up access?
Dial-up Internet can actually be more costly than you think. You could be paying anywhere between 20 cents to one dollar per day in phone calls (that’s between $6 and $30 per month), not to mention the cost of line rental for a second phone line, something that most regular Internet users need when using dialup. Due to the fact that ADSL doesn’t require you to dial up, there are no call charges. The connection is always on, and you can also use the phone while you are surfing the Net. Therefore, there’s no need to pay the extra rental for an additional phone line. When put into perspective, the cost of broadband doesn’t sound as expensive as it does initially, and it is justified further by the fact that greater access speeds allow you to do multiple tasks at once.
