How It Works

Dial-up Internet allows you to connect to the Internet through any telephone line. Your computer connects to a modem, which then connects to the phone line..

Dial-up Internet connections are limited to 56 Kbps, which is no longer considered high-speed Internet. Over the past several years, dial-up Internet services have fallen by the wayside, as consumers now demand faster access to Internet content.

Problems with Dial-Up Connections

Some of the issues consumers face with dial-up include:



  • Tying-up a phone line, which can only be used to connect online or be on a phone call, not both at the same time?unlike with a DSL connection.
  • Repeated busy signals as your modem attempts to contact the ISPs servers.
  • Frequently dropped or lost connections to the server, due to interference on the phone line.

Occasionally, working with a dial-up Internet service provider is the only means available for some to access the Internet. Satellite Internet is not always available if the consumer?s residence or business does not have a clean line of sight to the southern sky.
