Ways Texas Rural Internet Provider Services Help Customers

By Eliane H. Gulgowski


It wasn't that long ago that the Internet was an unknown technological advance, and it was only relatively recently that Texas rural internet provider services were available for the public to use in their homes at all. The Internet has evolved a considerably since then, to the point that it is now accessible on our cell phones, laptops, and through wireless Internet services installed in homes and allowing users to access the internet from anywhere in their coverage area.

To see the extent of this evolution, let's take a look at the way the world of the Internet and internet service has changed during this short period of time. In the very beginning, users had to wait while their computer's modem connected to the internet, and then pray that it didn't disconnect and make them start the process all over again. The 56kbps of dial-up speed was a blinding contrast to the up to 5mbsp speeds that are available with today's internet, speeds that allows users to watch television, download music and play games without a hitch in the playback.

The fact that the next connection option available, (DSL), tethered computers to the wall with its high speed cable, not permitting users to move from their desks if they wanted to use the internet, is another sign of how far Texas rural internet provider services have come. When wireless routers were invented, users could connect them to their DSL line and then broadcast a wireless signal throughout their home or office, allowing them to move around the house (no cable!) and stay connected to the internet.

Wireless routers and Internet service did not stop evolving there, on the contrary, when 3G (third generation) technology was developed, users were able to access the internet in even larger coverage areas than before. This service used laptop cards and cell phone signals to extend the coverage area within which a person could use the internet.

4G wireless internet takes the same basic functions of 3G and steps it up a bit to allow a user to connect to the Internet at the same speeds as DSL, but with the same freedom of movement as 3G offers. This means they can connect to a high-speed internet service from anyplace in the provider coverage area, which is usually a county or city.

Starting from a simple dial-up connection, then moving on to the speed fluctuations of DSL, and ending at the stable wireless capabilities and upgraded voice and video that we have today, it is easy to see how much the internet in Texas and other parts of the country has changed since it was invented. Each of these phases helps us to value the advantages that we now have with Hillsboro internet service provider services and the reliable high speeds that they offer.
