Digital Video Phone

You have seen things being said or written about Voip and you keep asking people what is it and how does it work. Well I am here to tell you very briefly. No Geek Speak!

You have either Internet “Cable” or “DSL” or “Dial Up” and using one of these you are able to get onto the Internet. DSL is approxiamately 50 times faster then “Dial Up”. High speed DSL is about 60 times faster then “Dial up”. Cable is even faster. It is about 150 times faster then “Dial up” and if you get the faster high speed Cable it will be about 500 times faster then “Dial Up”.

All you really need to know is that the faster the rate of operation, the faster you can sail through the Internet or even load stuff from the Internet onto your computer.

How fast you want to do those things is up to you and your pocket book. As the speed goes up, so does the cost. Being on the Internet a lot, the speed has helped me. I have loaded some files onto my computer that were 127 mb. At dial up speed I would have been there for 2 hours trying to load it up but using my very high speed cable it took me about 3 minutes.

Do I really need that speed? Yes, at least for now. In a very short period of time it will not be necessary and I can throttle it back. Maybe even go to high speed DSL.

I need high speed DSL to use for my digital video phone. High speed is not necessary for Digital phone but to stream video to the phone it does need to be high speed otherwise the picture will be fuzzy or distorted.

By the way, the digital video phone is spectacular. It is the best thing I have gotten since the cell phone. Hi Def TV is pretty good too but being able to talk to a relative across the country and look him in the eye is great.

I promise, next time I will write a compete article about the digital video phone but it is time to get off the blog. See you next time. Thanks.
