August 4, 2006, Newsletter Issue #26: Types of Modems
Tip of the Week
All the latest dial-up modems will connect at a speed of 56K, meaning it can transmit data at 56 kilobytes per second. This type of modem also has the ability to send and receive faxes as well.
If you would like a better ISP package, consider signing up for cable or DSL Internet. Using a DSL or cable modem gives you the ability to surf the Web and still talk on the phone at the same time. This option is not possible with a dial-up connection, which is often slow and blocks you from receiving calls while you are online. A DSL connection will use your existing telephone line, whereas a cable Internet connection will use your existing cable television line.
