This week’s buzz is that the FCC wants to know why so many internet users are turning down the offer of high speed internet. We’re talking about those who have the option to get DSL internet or Cable internet, and do not purchase it. Instead of paying $20 to $35 per month for DSL, potential customers chose dial up internet service providers instead. Comment on this post to help them understand why.

What is High Speed Internet?
Tuesday, February 17th, 2009The phrase High Speed Internet is thrown around quite a bit these days, and is often used to market services that are less than what customers might expect to be called high speed. High Speed Dial Up Internet for example, might lead customers to think that Dial Up can be equal in speed to the faster DSL or Cable internet services. DSL and Cable are high speed internet services and Dial Up intenet is not.
At Internet Services Online we define High Speed Internet as a grouping of internet access types which allow a computer to connect to an Internet Service Provider (Att, Comcast, Verizon, etc). These types are primarily Cable, DSL, Satellite and Wireless internet services. Dial Up internet is not within the group of high speed internet service types.
In the eyes of the residential consumer, High Speed Internet is synonymous with the phrase Broadband Internet. The United States Federal Communications Commission or FCC defines Broadband (High Speed Internet) as services with maximum download transfer rates above 768 kbit/s (768 kbps or 0.8 Mbps). Cable, DSL, Satellite, and Wireless internet services are above this transfer rate, while dial up internet is not.
