How much faster is High Speed Internet than Dial-up?
The simple answer to this question is, a lot faster. Perhaps a better way to describe it is in terms of plumbing. You will hear the term “bandwidth” all the time. Bandwidth is basically the size of the ‘pipe’ that carries data to and from your computer. Your bandwidth for dial-up is up to 56k. The base speed for our High Speed Internet is up to 256k. That means that you have nearly five times as big a ‘pipe’. That means you can move more data at one time, which makes it work much faster.
