The answer to “Why Broadband?” lies in what broadband is - and the kind of network that makes it possible. With dial-up modem connections to the Internet, information travels across telephone networks. This method can handle only a small amount of information at a time, making connections and downloads frustratingly slow. Broadband, such as Time Warner Cable’s broadband cable network, can handle a large amount of information simultaneously, so information can be transmitted faster - up to 100 times faster than dial-up. Connections are instant. Even large downloads take seconds instead of minutes. The impact on any business’s productivity is dramatic and immediate.
High-speed Internet access - no dial-up delays. Instead of tying up a telephone line every time you connect with the Internet, waiting for the access number to be entered, waiting for the connection to occur (or not), broadband connects you with the Internet with a click. It’s that fast. And you can stay connected throughout your workday or round the clock.
Always-on e-mail connectivity for instant communications. Because broadband can carry more information at a time, you can be connected to the Internet and your e-mail simultaneously. You’ll know the second an e-mail message comes in, and you’ll be able to respond just as quickly - without closing down programs.
Transmission speeds up to 100 times faster than dial-up modems. With dial-up, sending large files can take a great deal of time or choke the system entirely. With broadband, transmission is fast and effortless, freeing you to move on to other tasks.
Downloads of even large files in seconds. Whether you’re downloading a file off the Internet or an e-mail attachment, downloads over a dial-up connection can waste valuable time and sometimes not occurring at all. Broadband downloads take just seconds, with no risk or hassle.
