What's Broadband?

Broadband is high-speed Internet access such as through a Cable or DSL modem. It gives you a continuous connection to the internt at speeds much faster than dial-up. You need a high-speed connection to use VoIP because we insist on consistent high quality audio for all your calls. As a general rule, if you're getting speeds of 90 Kbps or better, you probably have a high-speed connection.

Ethernet is the most common type of network, mainly because it's quick and relatively inexpensive. It is a wired network that relies on cables to connect all of the equipment in the network. Because all of the equipment is connected via cables, Ethernet is the fastest and most stable of the home networking options. Due to the speed and stability, Vonage requires this type of connection. An Ethernet looks like a wider version of a telephone cable.

Cable Internet uses a Cable modem and connects through your existing Cable TV line. Typically your local Cable TV company would provide your Cable Internet service. This service does not interfere with your TV service. This Cable modem lets your computer and any other equipment connect to the intrnet faster than a dial-up modem. A typical Cable Internet connection might have 128 Kbps of upload and 1.5 Mbps of download speeds. Your speeds can vary depending on what your Cable provider offers, and how many other people in your area are using the same service.

DSL Internet uses a DSL modem and connects through your standard telephone line at speeds much faster than dial-up. Typically your local telephone company would provide your DSL connection. A DSL connection does not interfere with your telephone conversations as dial-up does and does not generally require any additional wiring. A typical DSL line might have 128 Kbps of upload and 1.5 Mbps of download speeds. Your speeds will be higher or lower depending on how close you are to the Internet Provider's office.
