| Internet Support With so many ISPs (Internet service providers) available, it can be difficult to make the right choice for your needs and budget. Dial-up connections using standard modems can offer light to moderate users with simple 'pay-as-you-go' (a local call charge whilst on-line) or monthly subscription packages that allow specific or unlimited on-line hours. BroadBand connections with an ADSL (digital line) modem are now the most popular service for more intensive users. The faster speed of viewing Web pages, downloading programs, media and updates make the Internet a much more practical and entertaining resource. It is most important that you choose the right ISP. Charges and the included services on offer vary greatly. Another consideration, for an 'always on' broadband connection is one of security, your PC will need greater protection (see the Security section). |
Sharing an Internet connection If you have, or are thinking of having, a small network then a special device called a 'gateway router' can efficiently share Internet access to all PCs. And remember that networks are not just for businesses, if you have more than one PC in your home it could be a very useful option. |
