EarthLink Internet Access

EarthLink Internet Access is offered in two main flavors: high speed and dial-up. The two flavors are aimed at the either individual at home or the business user who needs access without speed restrictions. The dialup option is ideal for someone who needs only a short access time for some email access. For web surfing, dialup handles basic websites with more text than images. Images will load OK, but will take longer than a second or two. The high speed option gives access to multimedia content like video that plays immediately on a click – so called “streaming video” or audio files that also play instantly a link is clicked. Dialup would require that the user download the file in full to the hard drive on their computer, before the file could be opened and played back. High speed is also excellent for someone who spends a lot of time (2 hours plus per day) online. Lengthy periods on the Internet using dialup become a real chore and a waste of time. High speed Internet access is supplied using cable, DSL, satellite or Wi-Fi technology, with DSL the slowest and cable the fastest. EarthLink’s high speed Internet access is made available using all these technologies. There’s no need to know what each technology entails – just order the speed settings most suitable for you.
