2. Turn Up the Speed to Meet the Need
One of the first questions people ask is “Why High Speed Broadband? My dial -up connection
gives me e-mail and web surfing. What is the big deal?” It is really a matter of time. Many are
shocked when I show them the attached speed comparison.
The time is based on the transmission of a 10 Meg Data File (about 10 low quality digital
pictures).
Connection Speed Time to Download
Dial-up 41 minutes. 36 seconds
56K (Modem) 24 minutes, 57 seconds
64K 21 minutes, 50 seconds
128K (ISDN) 10 Minutes, 56 seconds
256K (DSL) 5 minutes, 27 Seconds
640K (DSL/Cable 2 minutes, 11 seconds
768K (DSL/Cable) 1 minute, 49 seconds
T1 (1.544M) 54 seconds
The FTI service is a minimum of 2Meg or
456K faster than the T1. Now if you were
sending the pictures which one would you
prefer to use?
These calculations assume a “perfect”
connection at the stated speed. Actual
performance will vary due to retries, latency,
transmission protocol requirements and other
concurrent traffic. Still, most people would
want the higher speed if it were priced right.
The Internet is more demanding and so are
your residents and businesses!
Dial-up was fine for occasional e-mail and
web surfing. That was before the IPOD,
Google, You Tube, Streaming Video and
Movies, Encryption for security and the
multitude of smart phones, laptops and
PDA’s. Now is the time to address this issue
and get the most from your Internet
Investment.
FTI offers the most reliable commercial grade
High Speed Wi-Fi over Satellite.
