In the age of information, Internet access has become so much a part of our daily lives, that one thing is certain- whatever information we're looking for, we need it FAST and EASY.

Please note, while Econotek does not offer DSL, Satellite or Fixed wireless, this document is for comparing service offerings.

While consumers using dial-up modems are patiently waiting to log-on to the Internet (and tying up their phone lines in the process), those enjoying high-speed Internet access are already there - negotiating cyberspace, downloading information and communicating with the world hundreds of times faster... all without a busy signal. By picking up the pace, high-speed Internet technology has already had an enormous impact on society - from business and home networking to education and yes, even government. Studies have shown, for instance, that most parents consider the Internet a vital resource for their children's education, and that high-speed connectivity has made home study time much more productive. Educational web sites, on-line encyclopedias and dictionaries can all be accessed and downloaded many times faster than with dial-up technology. And while downloading audio and video is time-consuming and ineffective using a phone modem - requiring a process called buffering - a high-speed connection can stream both mediums effortlessly and through an almost unrecognizable buffering frame. For the most part, all high-speed options available to consumer provide the same benefits:
   
Always available access
Fast Connections and Internet Surfing
 

Cable Modem:
Much like cable television, most cable Internet is carried via the coaxial cable already installed in your home. Cable Internet is on 24/7 and data is transmitted fast - faster, even, than DSL due to the higher capacity of coaxial cable.

Econotek has taken a unique approach to this problem, by engineering our network with new CTMS technology, it allows us to split this signal and manage QOS (quality of service) assuring we dedicate bandwidth on a per customer basis. Our approach also assures we ride our meshed Cisco based network and take full advantage or reliability and speed.

DSL:
This technology uses your existing phone line to send and receive Internet data faster than dial-up modems, although it’s restricted by upload and download speeds, which are never the same. This means while you may request information quickly it may take much more time to download (receive) such as pictures, and music.

 
 

Fixed Wireless:
While satellite Internet beams from space, the signal for fixed wireless is ground-based, transmitting from antennas mounted on tall buildings or on top of mountains - much like broadcast television. Like satellite Internet, a dish antenna is required in order to receive the signal and there must be a clear line-of-sight from the antenna to the disk. While obstructions such as foliage or other buildings can disrupt the signal, the transmission is unaffected by adverse weather conditions. With higher speeds, or course, comes a higher price tag - satellite and fixed wireless typically being the costliest of the four options. Access is also an issue. Not every home can receive satellite or fixed wireless signals and not every neighborhood has access to DSL. Econotek’s approach is to deliver quality voice, and Internet services at an affordable price.

Econotek’s high speed internet service is a powerful and dedicated connection that loads information and images so quickly that you won't want to go back to your old dial-up connection. Simply click and connect and get online. No more dialing and no more busy signals. Experience the Internet like never before.
