One of the oldest forms of internet access technology is Dialup. It uses a simple adaptor known as a modem to plug directly into a standard telephone line. The modem then converts the computer’s digital data signal to a transmission that may be sent over the voice line for communication with an ISP or remote computer. The standard voice call charges of your existing telecoms operator apply for every minute of use.

Unfortunately, this kind of internet access is very slow and susceptible to line interference. The good thing is that with it is very flexible and useful with its ability to plug in to almost any phone line.

With anything that is good comes the bad side and prepaid internet is no exception. Here is a list of the disadvantages of prepaid internet:

1. It is slow and not up to par with broadband or dsl connection. Its standard dial-up speed is only 56kbps making it painfully slow to view images or stream music or videos.

2. When you run out of prepaid internet, you need to buy another card or recharge your account or else you will not be able to continue with whatever you are doing. This is hard especially if there is only little time left in a file you are downloading.

3. Forgetting or losing your access number is another big problem. Once it is gone, you will not be able to use the card anymore.

4. It is not economical if you are a heavy internet user. A montly plan is more advisable than using prepaid cards.

The proposal is to boost the ability of the UK to gain access to the internet but people are seeing it as a move to unify the many government services to boost monitoring and surveillance attempts, a thing that most Brit’s are not liking. They do love the idea of having faster internet access but if it is to serve the government’s watchdog efforts, none want it. Continue reading ‘UK 10 Gigabyte Network – Too High an Aim’ »

Most people fail to realize that ISP’s have security firewalls in place similar to what most search engines use to prevent harmful content and hackers from gaining control of their networks. The internet is actually a huge inter-connected web on networks, linked logically as well as physically through cables that serves countries and territories all over the globe. These companies are large though they rarely make the headlines for they do safeguard their equipment and the land-based cables that links the networks together. Some countries are linked by several redundant fiber optic cables and some even have satellite-based systems serving as stand-by links in the event of a system wide-outage.

Australia is again trying to go on a country-wide broadband access plan which would unite the country and allow full access to the internet where ever you may be in the land down under. The government has refused many offers from private companies to develop and put the necessary infrastructure in place for the project is to be a national one. The costs are staggering but today’s world of WiFi and WiMax would surely allow more people internet access as well as less infrastructure to cover the whole country.
