About broadband connections and home networks!
Broadband connections seem to be improving all the time.
Areas previously without broadband due to distance
constraints are becoming a thing of the past. BUT!
Connections in outlying areas with slow (512Kbps)
connections can and still do suffer with regard to the
options for running reliable networks.
A typical example of this is where the main telephone
point is sited away from the PC requiring the internet
connection. If the house is of a substantial
construction i.e. period property with thick walls,
large fireplaces etc., as is often the case in remote
areas, then it is quite conceivable that wireless
networking will not work reliably. It has also been our
experience that using a telephone extension for the
broadband router connection in this instance may result
in a failure to connect to broadband.
Wired networks are faster than most other forms of
connection but are difficult to install in most
properties.
A reasonable alternative to both wireless or wired
networks can be networking over power cables. This uses
similar technology to 'Baby Alarms'. Whilst initial
costs may look prohibitive, further investigation
reveals that this option, through much more expensive
than wireless, can indeed be much cheaper in the long
term than the wired equivalent.
The advantages over wired networks are:
The ability to re-site your PC without the need to
provide additional network wiring.
The possibility of extending your network with minimal
expense.
