What is Internet?
The Internet, sometimes called simply "the
Net," is a worldwide system of computer
networks - a network of networks in which
users at any one computer can, if they
have permission, get information from any
other computer (and sometimes talk
directly to users at other computers).
Today, the Internet is a public, cooperative, and selfsustaining facility accessible to hundreds of millions of
people worldwide. Physically, the Internet uses a portion of
the total resources of the currently existing public
telecommunication networks. Technically, what
distinguishes the Internet is its use of a set of protocols
called TCP/IP (for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet
Protocol). Two recent adaptations of Internet technology,
the intranet and the extranet, also make use of the TCP/IP
protocol.
For many Internet users, electronic mail (e-mail) has
practically replaced the Postal Service for short written
transactions. Electronic mail is the most widely used
application on the internet as mentioned above. You can
also carry on live "conversations" with other computer
users, using Internet Relay Chat (IRC). More recently,
Internet telephony hardware and software allows real-time
voice conversations.

Speed Comparison
Dial-Up = 28 to 56 Kbps
Broadband = 1500 Kbps
Thus, broadband is over 26 times faster than dial-up, and
sometimes broadband is over 50 times faster. The difference is
very noticeable when using the Internet. Besides being much
faster, broadband is more reliable than dial-up due to broad
bands digital nature and "always on" connectivity. With
broadband, when you turn on your computer, you're already
connected to the Internet and ready to surf at high speeds.
