Do You Need a DSL or Cable Connection?

If you spend most of your time on the internet waiting for large files to download or if you are a webmaster that uploads tens of thousands of files onto your web sites each day, a DSL or cable connection from an Internet service provider might be the answer.

Taking into consideration the speeds of Dial-Up, DSL, and Cable connections, a DSL connection averages around ten times faster than a Dial-Up connection and Cable is around three times faster than DSL. The differences may or may not sound very spectacular. But, as the sizes of the files you are downloading increase, the more noticeable it will be.

Here are some calculators you can use to test the download times of various file sizes on Dial-Up, DSL, and Cable connections.
