Can't get cable or DSL fast Internet?  The need for speed has never been greater.  We offer the latest state-of-the art technology to deliver you the best Internet service.

Pros and Cons of the major players.

Dialup – Pros: almost everyone can have access to a phone line.  Cons: Funny thing is your 56k modem can’t provide you a 56k connection. First the Feds limit it to a maximum of 53k. But, more importantly, your phone company most likely can’t get up past 32k by using that really old copper wiring.

ISDN – Pros: Available to most places that can have a phone line.  Cons: Expensive, uses two digital lines.  You have to pay for both lines - dialed up at the same time.  Companies in Illinois charge a per minute usage fee.

IDSL – Pros: Not bad, If it is your only option.  IDSL can reach further than other types of DSL.  Cons: Very expensive.   Normally around $100 per month, and a pretty high upfront equipment chare. 

Cable – Pros:  If you’re the only one online you should get a fast connection; however the more neighbors who sign on, the more likely your speed will diminish and potentially be slower than a 56k dialup connection.   Cons: Uploads restricted at 128k to 256k. Usage is also restricted from most companies, if they see alot of usage, they will turn down your speed to crawl until the next billing month.  Cable TV subscription required, to get lower pricing.  Up-charge for non-cable customers.  Many hidden costs and taxes.  No committed connection speeds.

DSL – Not available in most areas.  If you can get it, this seems to be the best hardwired solution. The major pitfall here is waiting 6 to 9 months or longer for installation, if it is available in your area.. You won’t be getting a static IP address, so that means no servers to host your own web site. It also means it will be difficult to add more home systems onto one connection. Another downfall here is inactivity can cause your DSL modem to disconnect. Many hidden costs and taxes.

Satellite – Latency is the big issue here. 23,000 miles is a long way for data to travel. Don’t even think about gaming, voice, or video conferencing. Usually has very large up front costs.  Speed really varies depending on the amount of users online, and current weather conditions.

Wireless – This is how we can deliver the last-mile to you.  WOWACCESS offers an affordable, high-speed Internet connection. Upload and download speeds are faster than dial-up, ISDN, DSL, MMDS, cable or satellite access. We are able to offer a much better ratio of users vs. bandwidth.  No hidden fees in your monthly bill.
