What is dial-up Internet connection?
A 18. Dial-up connection means your Internet Service Provider (ISP) connects your computer with the Internet via the telephone line. It is usually much cheaper (just make sure they have an Access Phone Number within your area code, otherwise long-distance charges may apply) but it is also SLOWER. The Web pages will take longer to load. Downloading and uploading time will be much longer. And it will be virtually impossible to enjoy videos in the Web, such as YouTube videos, CNN videos, AOL videos, Yahoo videos etc. Most people these days have high-speed Internet connection.
