If you're planning to get an internet connection for your computer at home, there are two things that may probably knock on your mind: a dial-up or a
cable modem. Depending on the services of your provider, you can enjoy the former or leave the latter, or vise-versa. But, you should make the correct choice.
It is a very common knowledge that a dial-up access is cheaper than any
broadband internet connection service. But, with dial-up, you will have to dial the access number, time and again, before you can hook to the internet. Since you are using a phone line, incoming calls will not really get in.
Cable modem has also its line of disadvantages and advantages. Cable modem is expensive than dial-up. It's because
cable broadband providers can guarantee a high-speed internet connection, "always on" internet access, and other line of good services. However, if you're a frequent traveler, you cannot enjoy this expensive modem since you are not always at home. Also, if some subscribers in your place connect to the Net, the speed will also get affected.
