Dialup Blues
If you have a modem or dialup connection you are sharing your
access with thousands of people and you must dial, connect and
authenticate yourself eachtime you want to do anything. Also you
are billed per minute and have to pay an ISP, your phone bill
and the HUGE amount of time wasted waiting can be devastating.
Disconnecting and Queing
Dialups and modems connect when they need to transfer data. This
means ringing up, making sure the line isn't engaged, queing,
being connected, checking passwords and usernames, then accessing
the Internet.
As the Internet is so popular your ISP may disconnect you periodically
especially with all inclusive deals. If you've ever lost a download
thats nearly finished and had to start again and wait another
few hours you'll know how frustrating this can be.
Poor Speed Especially for Networks
Modems are yesterdays technology and as sites become more and
more complex your waiting time can only increase. For network
useage they are useless as everything slows to a crawl.
A dedicated link is fast, reliable and not shared with anybody.
It is also always live and always connected with no extra cost.
