How often have you been left staring at a progress
bar?
Upgrading your software to the latest version over
the net can take almost an hour and emails often arrive with large attachments
so you spend longer and longer connected to the net wasting both time
and money as well as tying up your phone line.
An ADSL connection brings the web to life! Multimedia
rich web pages become a joy, file downloads take seconds not minutes!
An ADSL connection is typically at 8-10 times faster than a 56K modem
(as featured in 99% of new home PC's) and at least 8 times faster than
single channel ISDN!
Although initially a text based medium the web has now fully embraced
multimedia. Web pages often feature video clips or animation and internet
based radio stations and tv channels are multiplying at a mind boggling
rate. Downloading CD-quality previews of your favourite bands on e-commerce
sites will be possible and software upgrades over the web will finally
be practical.
