Remember that old familiar mantra that once greeted the vast majority of internet customers as they signed online “you’ve got mail!” The excitement and optimism in the voice was enough to make the pain and agony of waiting for a 56k modem to dial up and connect to the internet almost worth it. Of course, way back when, in the 1990s and early 2000s when dial-up was still the standard, it was always a tossup of whether you’d actually ‘have mail’ or not. People didn’t spend the entire day online then, mainly because it was such a pain to sign on and off all the time. Now, it’s quite rare to sign online and not have mail. It’s far more rare to sign on and have a chipper voice advise you that you do. Today, the average person has a beep, buzz or tone advising them when they receive emails from an always on 3G internet device or broadband connected computer at home or in the office. However, most people don’t stop to think about the over 5 million AOL customers still servicing clients with their dial-up service, yes, today in the year 2010. How can this be? There are many reasons that a person would choose to stay with dial-up, but the vast majority of us are correct in believing these reasons are probably not founded in good sense.

 

Today, many residents of places like Jackson Ohio and Cleveland OK are still sticking with dial-up for one simple, however silly reason, it’s what they’re used to. Many such customers are grandmothers or grandfathers, or just people who are living a simpler lifestyle. They may not care about social networking websites or the World of Warcraft. It’s unlikely these people are downloading music for their iPods, and they’ve probably never even thought about getting their news from CNN.com instead of the Jackson Ohio Gazette, or Cleveland OK Herald. The price of dial-up is cheap, the email address stays the same, and the hassle of finding a new internet provider is just not worth it.

 

Another kind of customer of dial-up is the customer who is stuck with it. Today, terrestrial broadband is not available everywhere in the world, in fact, there are many reasons why the web of available terrestrial broadband from providers like DSL and cable stop. Amongst these reasons is money, and that it costs too much to extend service to every rural and remote customer. For these people, the rationalization is they have no choice, but this is wrong. The reality is they do have a choice for fast reliable satellite internet broadband.

 

When trying to download, live chat, access large amounts of information, run a business, study, or just plain cruise the web, a broadband connection like with satellite internet is basically a necessity. It seems that broadband providers like DSL and cable don’t understand that, and hold back on their service. Today, those gaps are being filled in by satellite internet. From Africa to Jackson Ohio this service is filling in where other broadband providers have left off and leveling the playing field.

 

It might be the tried and true approach to internet, but they next time you talk to Grams, let her know dial-up is so out, and it’s time to switch to satellite internet broadband.
