Hi, I read in the COMPUTERS magazine published by IEEE society that there is a raging debate in the world about the broadband access and the touted speed.
According to what I read (and what I recollect) is : broadband at a times can get slower than dialups. This is a fact. So if one is constantly experiencing 8-10KB/s it is possible in the future that he/she will be experiencing 1/2KBps if ALL the users in the area log on simultaneously.
Second question that jumps into my mind is that WHY PURCHASE CABLE MODEMS?? These cablewallahs are giving u access thr. LAN cards worht 900-700 rs. why go for 15000/- cable modem. Will the cable modem boost the speed. Can anybody throw light on this as I am very weak at fundamentals of networking.
thanx,
