What is high speed internet?
High Speed Internet is a technology that provides high-bandwidth (high-speed) network connections to individual homes and businesses. High Speed Internet uses the same line as your regular telephone service, but it can provide the higher data speeds because it uses digital modems. Over the last few years, High Speed Internet has become more widely available across the country, even in rural areas. While early High Speed Internet applications were plagued by installation and/or service problems, advances in technology, increased deployment, and higher demand have eliminated some of the “growing pains” and led to improved service quality. As a consequence, High Speed Internet has become a valuable network service for those who demand high-speed Internet access.
