Using Different Connections For Your Internet, Including DS3

There are several different ways you can connect to the internet, but the more common ways are DS3, Fiber Optic, and satellite. If you live in a low populated area, lets say 15 miles out of town in the hills or mountains, your choices may be limited as to how you can connect to the web.

Many people don’t have this problem, and all they need to do is call their internet company and ask to get hooked up. Others may need to do some research for the cheapest or fastest connection in their area. The speed of your connection depends on what is available in your area, and what company you go through.

If you live in town and have neighbors, and are possibly in walking distance of town, getting a hookup to the web shouldn’t be difficult. The speed difference of DS3, cable, or a phone line shouldn’t differ too much unless you have several different machines trying to connect on the same line. So if you live in town, the price of your hook up is generally the deciding factor.

If you live out in the hills, perhaps 10 to 15 miles out of town, fiber optics with your phone line might be difficult. Satellite or even the slow moving dial up may be your only choice. Satellite is faster, but it may be more expensive and you most likely have to deal with a contract.

With satellite you have to have a clear view of the sky, and you may have to have to know a certain amount of data you can use. So basically, you are purchasing a chunk of data from the provider you chose. If you decide to use this, it is generally faster than dial up but you need to watch how much data you use.

You have options when it comes to your on line connection, and for most you have choice between DS3, Satellite, and cable. But depending on how much you want, how much money you want to spend, and where you live, you might want to do some research.
