DSL vs Dialup

AT&T Cash Backfor High Speed DSL

Speed

DSL internet service is capable of running at speeds of up to 9Mbps up to 160 times faster than dialup service which can offer speeds up to 56Kbps.

Multiple Users

DSL service can be networked to multiple computers and users.  This enables more than one person to access the internet at a time from different computers.  With dialup service only one user can access the internet at a time.

Ease of use

DSL service provides an always on connection with no need for waiting or dialing up to reach the internet.  With dialup service users must wait while dialing up to receive internet access.

Pricing

DSL and dialup are competitively priced and in most cases DSL cost the same or even less than slow dialup service.

Connectivity

During peak hours dialing up to your internet service provider can be difficult causing users to waste more time than normal.  With DSL and it’s always on connection there is no waiting or lack of speed during peak hours.
