New technologies ? cable modems, DSL, and satellite - have brought high speed to the masses! This book introduces the new broadband user to the Web as it was meant to be seen, rather than the World Wide Wait. Broadband Internet Access for Dummies provides you with guidance through competing technologies and, once you are connected, will provide ways for you to make the most of the speed and connectivity, from setting up voice and video connections to making a virtual private network connection that lets you stay home from the office a few days a week. Discover how to use the power of high speed internet for fast downloads, music online, streaming video, video conferencing and much more!
As a novice broadband customer, I found this book to be easily understood and helpful. It provided practical information that my cable modem company was not forthcoming about as well as some good suggestions for how to make use of the extra speed of a cable modem. As with all Dummies books, it was zippy and tried to be funny, but a little more information would have been helpful in spots.
An Instant Classic!

My grandkids have all been after me to get a faster Internet connection. I'd been resisting because I thought I could never understand it. After reading this book, I was able to get myself hooked up with DSL with hardly any trouble at all. Now I'm able to see my grandchildren across the country every day via video conferencing! I owe it all to this book.
