People frequently purchase new state-of-the-art computer systems equipped with the latest hardware, mistakenly thinking that along with higher processor speed and larger hard drive space the system will deliver a faster Internet connection. Perhaps you have brought a new system home, plugged in all of the necessary cables (including the same standard phone line), only to find that your Internet connection speed hasn't changed much, if at all.

Many computer users in both business and residential environments will waste hours of precious time waiting for the information they need to trickle to them through their 56K dial up connection. This includes information such as email, pictures, music and video, not to mention web pages themselves. Add to this the frustration of losing your dial-up connection during the download process and you have a significant problem. As file sizes increase and web pages become more sophisticated, the need for a higher speed Internet connection will only increase.

Imagine watching the blue download progress bar fly across the screen! Imagine receiving multiple average-size email messages per second. Imagine updating your virus protection in less than a minute. The list goes on and on.

High speed Internet requires a completely different style of connection. Available types include Cable (similar to cable TV), DSL (using a high-capacity phone line), and wireless (via a small satelite dish). The fastest standard dial-up modem offers a 56K connection speed. High speed connections now affordably offer 3000K (3MB/s) and higher, with lower cost speeds around 1500K (which is still about thirty times faster than 56K).

If high speed Internet interests you, start by giving us a call at Krier Technologies. We are an authorized dealer for Cable One and can give advice about, as well as support for other high speed connection media.
