If you're already out of your teen years, you probably remember a time long ago when there was no such thing as high speed internet. You spent most of your time on the internet waiting for the online art store to load over your primitive dial-up connection and you couldn't even use the phone while you did it. Today, high speed internet is the norm. This article will explore some of the various types of high speed internet there are to choose from.
Cable
Ordinary cable internet, which uses the same type of coaxial wires as the cable on your television, is one of the most common types of high speed internet. Also called Broadband, it uses a modem to translate the signals on the cable line into internet that allows you to look at Mississauga spa packages online. Because many users share the same connection to the host, download speeds are often limited during peak times when everyone is using their connection.
DSL
DSL, or digital subscriber line, is another common type of high speed internet. It uses the existing telephone lines to connect you to the internet, but because it uses higher frequencies than your telephone, you can still make calls to order your aquarium test kits while you're online. DSL requires a special modem and download speeds tend to he higher than upload speeds unless you subscribe to a special symmetric version of DSL which is not commonly available.

Fiber Optic
Fiber optics is a technology that has been around for a long time, primarily in transatlantic telephone cables. It has recently been applied to internet services with great success. This is because you can upload videos to catch your husband cheating at the same speed as you can download them. Fiber optics providers also link each customer directly with the hub, which means bandwidth is not shared with other users in the coverage area, resulting in faster speeds.
3G
With the explosion in popularity of cell phones, cellular network providers have also developed a protocol for using their towers to access the internet. This is handy if you're in an airport taxi in Toronto instead of near a wired connection or hardpoint. It can be accessed through the phone or via a special key plugged into a laptop. 3G internet tends to be slower than other types and is billed by usage rather than as a flat monthly rate.
