does broadband work ok with digital telephones or will i have to get an analogue phone?

I have an analogue and digital phone and also run a wireless network. The signal to the modem and the phones is analogue over copper wire. It would be very rare for a broadcast signal (digital cordless phone) to effect cable. You must ensure however that all the required ADSL filters are in place and they usually come with the modem. These are primarily to filter the ADSL signal from the phones and the analogue telephone signal from the ADSL Modem.\n\nPS: Cable broadband similar but I was assuming you were refering to DSL.\n\nCheers

That depends on your connection speed and the quality of the sound.\n\nThe telephony standard for voice quality audio requires 64kbps.  That's not too much, and any decent application will compress this to take up much less bandwidth than that.\n\nSo, even at 32-48 kbps, that's a fraction of a lower level broadband connection (500 kbps - 1,000 kbps).\n\nIf you're using DSL limited to an upstream link of 128 kbps, you might notice some problems with uncompressed audio, especially if you're using other internet applications at the same time.

you can use but you require internal modem for dialup and modem/router for broadband.sometimes you may face problem because when you are connectr as dialup and someone calls you or you want to make some call then you will be disconnected automatically and speed of connection for dialup decreases very much.

What all the others have said, plus, wireless broadband costs your y-fronts and socks. The cost was so much and service touted as unreliable that I haven't bothered.\nNow, what you can do is get a bluetooth enabled cell phone and bluetooth adapter that plugs into the usb port on your computer.\nWith that arrangement, the cell becomes your modem, and the computer dials through the phone to any dial up service, much cheaper, just not a fast. \nI have a mate that is pushing me in that direction. i have the adapter, now all I have to do is get busy and get the new cellie to handle it.

Have you installed the little adapter required for an ADSL (Broadband) coonection? In the UK these are little white boxes with a phone lead you plug into the phone socket and two 'holes' on the other side. One is for phones the other for your ADSL (Broadband) MODEM.\n\nOne of these adapters needs to be installed for every phone in the house.

Because there was no option (apart from Morse code, Telegraphy, Teleprinter) until recently. \nFor transmission of domestic television and radio, digital is a relatively new alternative to analogue. And digital is not much use to the bulk of the viewers/listeners who have a house full of analogue equipment.

Worth the money? Not sure if I can quantify the worth for you.  The biggest advantage (in my opinion) of a broadband (VoIP) phone is to reduce the cost of long distance fees and virtually eliminate the excess taxes and FCC fees that you normally pay with a traditional "POTS" line (you don't pay those fees with a VoIP line). Competition in the VoIP provider space is fierce and you have a wide variety of options, from full service outfits like Vonage to bare-bones software-only per-minute providers like GizmoProject (SIPPhone).\n\nGo to http://voip-info.org for everything you would ever want to know about VoIP.

Try austar they have internet access not sure about satellite but im sure you know they are the Pay TV suppliers to rural australia so i assume their broadband works the same..Or .. I think AOL is the best especially when bundled with your phone plan, not sure if they do broadband satellitle go to www.aol.com.au to look at pricing options. And whats avavilable I used to be with Telstra  and was for almost 20yrs we were spending 300 a month on phone and internet , i questioned this many times as i couldnt believe we were possibly spending that , now im with AOL and my bill averages just over a hundred a month.

Broadband is a service that uses your phone line, but does not stop you making calls simultaneously. Dial up uses your phone line but actually makes a call so you can't use it.\n\nBroadband connections are often also a lot faster.\n\nOther common browsers are:\nNetscape\nOpera\nFirefox\nMozilla

Broadband is a general term used for DSL/Cable/ISDN internet connections - so it's the same as cable....but anything is better than dial-up.

If you want to use dial-in service you will need an analog modem 56K - V.92.  You can get one at just about any computer store.\nThey come as either a PC card (PCMCIA) or as an external modem with USB connection. \nBoth types work fine. Choose the one that you like best.

Broadband Internet greatly improves the quality of your Internet experience. Web pages load quickly. Downloads are fast and easy. A broadband connection is "always on" meaning that you don't have to wait for the telephone to dial and connect. When your computer is on, the Internet is instantly available to you. With a broadband connection, the Internet becomes a much more valuable tool. If you can afford the extra cost, broadband Internet is sure to save your time.  \nGood luck!

As advised by other you would need a wireless router but before you go out buy one you need to know what sort of broadband connection you have ie through cable or through phone line commonly know as DSL/ADSL.\nAs both have different type of wireless router due to different type of connection coming into your house.So check the type of broadband connection you have before you go out and buy.

You need a device called "VoIP Gateway" to convert the standard Analog voice to voice packets.\n\nThe cheapest is to use VoIP software client, but better quality can be achieved with hardware device.\n\nFor mobile phones there are bluethooth adapters.\n\nAnd you need a company wich will terminate calls for you (ITSP)

hi\nthe main factor is the service provider .if it provides \na good speed  it does not effect speed of communication much ,though it is slower than broadband but it is workable.it can also b that it might not support the best quality of video confrencing or voice chat.also downloadin is a problem on a dial up connection.also attaching files is difficult and takes a lot of time.\n\nbut if u can invest som amount every month i would recomend u take broadband cuz dial up is a bit costly cuz it causes the phone to be engaged n hence increases the phone bill and hence the overall cost is basically same but broadband is much better in terms of both quality and price
