What is the difference between dial-up and broadband Internet Access? The two main advantages of broadband over dial-up are the speed, and the permanent connection.
A BeCom wireless connection operating at full speed can transfer data at between 5 and 50 times the speed of a 56k dialup connection. This means that web pages load in an instant, large downloads take minutes rather than hours and email operates more efficiently. It also allows you to do things that are not really possible on a dialup connection, such as watching streaming video from the internet. As broadband offers you a permanent connection, you are always online when your computer is on, without the hassle of having to dial up. This means that you will not be hampered by the time restrictions of dialup that can often cause you to be disconnected at inconvenient times. Does BeCom Wireless use my telephone line? No BeCom Wireless does not use your telephone line. Your telephone will be free to make and take calls while you visit your favourite websites.
