EarthLink Dial-Up
Dial-Up utilizes the good old-fashioned copper wire or landline telephone
cables installed just about everywhere in the United States. Dial-Up data
transfer speeds mean that a web site with images and other rich media
content can take as long as a few minutes to open properly. Listening to
music online requires more speed than dial-up can offer and watching video
files online is doubly difficult. As already mentioned, the dial-up
subscriber is forced to download the file to their disk and watch it later,
but since most video content is copyright and must be played in the browser
while accessing the site, this is often just not an option. Dial-Up is
therefore suitable for the casual home user with only a few emails to
retrieve and who surfs news sites or any sites with mostly text content.
Extremely cost-sensitive customers will also enjoy the access to the
Internet without the higher cost of the high speed option. Unfortunately,
with the increase of multimedia advertising, pages are becoming
uncomfortably slow-loading as the animated or bandwidth intensive
advertising loads up. Even with the limitations of dial-up, there are still
cases where a dial-up line is sufficient and with all the features packed
into the dial-up offering by EarthLink, the dial-up option is by no means
less attractive than
high speed
Internet access.
