Fixed Line Broadband Service Verses Mobile Broadband

 Government of Pakistan trying hard to introduce a 3G in the country, we thought it would be a good idea to compare 3G Mobile Broadband with hardwired high speed Internet service or what you call it DSL.

So, with the assumption that you have a choice  between  some sort of a wired Internet service, DSL or cable modem  and mobile broadband, 3G or 4G is (after it was introduced), and even that will not  take costs both have to leave ‘to make a brief comparison  between the  two types  of Internet connections and examine their pros and cons.

DSL offers these advantages:

• If your computer and modem are powered on, you’re always connected. Yes, connections can be lost occasionally, but cable and DSL are very nearly bulletproof and constantly improving.
• Download speeds are fast. Fixed line Internet connections are approaching and exceeding 10 MB in some instances, but even basic connections will give you 1-2 MB per second.
• Costs would be lower than the 3G or 4G connections.
• DSL and cable connections may come packaged with telephone and television services. You receive the proverbial “quantity discount” along with the convenience of needing to pay only one bill.
• The amount of data you can access is essentially unlimited, at least for now.

The disadvantages of DSL and cable fixed line broadband are:

• It ‘s impossible for providers  of fixed line broadband to test all operating systems,  the brand  of computer and variations of configurations  for different combination of hardware and software. This means that sometimes it is very frustrating for someone, even someone with better than average computer skills to  establish  and maintain their connection  to the Internet. Similarly, it is sometimes difficult even for highly skilled  technical support to diagnose any problems.
• The locations where the Internet can be accessed are limited to computers physically connected to the modem or within that modem’s wireless range.

3G and 4G Internet connections offer some benefits:

• They make it easy for someone who is often in different locations to carry their Internet access with them. The USB modem’s weigh only ounces and can easily fit in the pocket, purse or briefcase.
• They are easier to set up than fixed line. All the configuration information is automatically installed when the USB modem is plugged in and activated.
• The need for land line telephone and cable TV service could potentially be entirely eliminated.
