What are the benefits of ADSL?
As well as the speed factor, ADSL is much more convenient than a dialup modem. ADSL modems are always connected to the network, meaning there is no “dial-up” involved, and you no longer pay a telephone call every time you use the Internet. Additionally, ADSL modems share a normal telephone line – you don’t need a separate line for the modem. When you evaluate the cost of ADSL, remember to consider the savings on line rental and telephone calls compared to an older-style modem. And consider the convenience of having the Internet always at your fingertips – with no waiting 60 seconds for the old 33K or 56K modem to make connection.
