High Speed Internet Development And Improvements

By Chloe Gib


The global interconnection of computer networks in the world is called the internet. It connects any device that has to communicate to other devices on this network. The department of defense of the US founded it in the 1970s after which the developments led to high speed internet Georgia.

The services have gain remarkable popularity among Georgians and its knowledge is regarded as among the basic skills in job market place. During its invention, it received a lot of resistance from people as they thought it was unreliable, but with time, it has become very known and legitimate.

Digital divide still occurs in Georgia just like in the whole world. There is a gap between the connectivity in developed urban areas and the poor rural areas. Sparse and scattered population makes providers unable to recover equipment costs. On the other hand urban areas are densely populated making connectivity provision cheaper. There is a movement worldwide towards making connectivity a human right. Some countries have already made this a right in their states.

Data rates in broadband have been defined differently by the many companies in market. The most recent definition puts data rate in broadband at 4Mbps. These speeds may not be attained because of the many factors that come into play such as the transmission line resistance and settings and overloading by the service providers. During a lot of traffic, the service providers may throttle back user traffic. This when well used ensures quality service to users. Broadband rates are generally above the primary rates.

There are so many ways that the consumer can receive these services some of them are wireless connection, local area network, mobile broadband, telephone cables, dial up and satellite. Wireless connection involves connecting to the services through a wireless medium. The device should have a transmitter and a receiver for transmission of signals through a wireless method. It is convenient in places where wiring would be expensive though it has a short range.

Connection may be through wireless service providers, local area networks, satellite connection, mobile broadband, Wi-Fi and dial up. Dial up uses the already existing telephone wires to set up a connection. It takes full control of the line till transmissions are over. It is a slow method of connection but the only option in rural areas.

Satellite connection is provided by satellite companies through satellites within the geostationary orbit. They are fast but expensive with faster latencies. They cover a very large area and are suitable for areas which would be expensive to wire. Transmissions are basically packet based while billing may be based on amount of data transferred and whose rate defines the fast transmissions like high speed internet Georgia.
