Knowing the different types of internet services that are available to you can help you decide which type of internet service best suits your needs. Broadband is a term used that covers all types of internet connections: cable, satellite, DSL, and fiber optic. These are all the high-speed internet services that keep you connected at all times.
DSL -Digital Subscriber Line. It operates over a normal telephone line similar to dial-up. DSL delivers download speed of up to 25 megabits per second.
There are two types of DSL: Asymmetric DSL which is the cheaper option between the two and offers faster download speeds that upload speed (ADSL) and Symmetric DSL (SDSL) equally provides faster upload and download speeds, which may be quite important if you use VPN on a regular basis to backup large files to the cloud.
Advantages
- DSL is the least expensive when compared to other broadband options
- You are able to have more than one DSL provider that you can choose from
- DSL can deliver up to 100 times network performance of a dial-up modem, speed may vary depending on the service plan or network capacity.
Whether we are at the office or in the comfort of our own homes being connected to the Internet through a broadband (high-speed) connection has become ingrained in our daily routines, anything slower is down right frustrating.
But what about when we are on the go, how do we stay connected at the speed to which we have become accustomed?
This is where Mobile Broadband comes in. Mobile Broadband enables you to connect to the Internet wherever you are whenever you need to
The Hardware
Mobile Broadband works by using any of the following hardware:
- A portable USB modem (known as a dongle) that plugs directly into a USB port and uses a SIM-card to connect to the mobile network.
- A data card or built-in device, this is available on some laptops.
- A mobile Wi-Fi (MiFi) device, this works like a dongle but allows you to connect more than one device to the Internet using the same signal mobile phones use.
The Technology
Due to the improvements to the cellphone networks you can now get broadband-speed (from 4-45 Mbps upload/download if you are in a high coverage area, such as a CBD or major town), wireless Internet through a mobile phone connection wherever you are.
Using Mobile Broadband
There are two ways you can make use of Mobile Broadband:
1) If you have a smartphone with a data connection enabled you can surf the Internet, check your social media or download music directly on your phone at broadband speeds.
2) To connect your laptop when you are on the go by using a dongle or a mobile Mifi device.
Imagine an accessible, affordable and reliable high speed satellite internet connection beamed straight to your home, wherever you are. No more worries about ADSL or 3G coverage
Limitech connects you to the world via the latest satellite technology. Satellite Internet works just like satellite TV (e.g. DStv).
Our satellite communicates from space, with a mini satellite dish outside your home.
This gives you an always on, high-speed connection you can depend on.
Connecting is easy. All you need to have is a data service plan and a satellite dish and the modem/router. You can get all of this from us, at an affordable price.
If you’re into tech, you’ll be thrilled to know that satellite technology maximises spectral efficiency through frequency re-use. This means that we are able to supply high power, concentrated beams that target specific areas. This is great news if your area doesn’t have stable, fast and reliable internet connectivity.
Our super strong signal comes in a small, tidy package. A satellite dish is about the same size as a DStv dish, which means less setup costs for you. One of our certified installers will come and set it up for you.
