How is Verizon High Speed Internet different from other Internet connections?
Many users still access the Internet via dial-up access, which requires an analog modem. Analog modems were designed to work on regular telephone lines and usually operate at speeds ranging from about 28.8 Kbps to approximately 45 Kbps. Even 56 Kbps modems do not transfer data at a full 56 Kbps. In contrast, High Speed Internet modems use higher frequencies to transmit information at faster speeds over the same copper telephone wire. Because the frequencies are different for voice and data transmissions, you can use the phone or fax while you are connected to the Internet.
