00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:07.040
so everyone's super excited right about internet service providers that are

00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:14.040
offering fiber internet directly to the home but let's face it most of us don't

00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:16.480
live in an area where we can get 100%

00:00:14.040 --> 00:00:21.760
fiber and waiting around for Google to show up and save the day with an army of

00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:28.960
construction workers might take a really long time so the majority of us are

00:00:24.920 --> 00:00:32.360
still using either cable or DSL to get

00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:35.760
online but is one better than the other

00:00:32.360 --> 00:00:39.079
and how exactly can internet data travel

00:00:35.760 --> 00:00:43.160
over a cable TV wire or a phone line

00:00:39.079 --> 00:00:46.960
that only carried 56k dialup not so long

00:00:43.160 --> 00:00:48.960
ago well although people laughed at Ted

00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:54.640
Stevens for calling the internet a series of tubes it's actually pretty

00:00:51.480 --> 00:00:57.280
darn helpful to picture the phone or a

00:00:54.640 --> 00:01:03.640
cable line running to your house as a pipe the phone conversation or ad

00:01:00.160 --> 00:01:07.560
Sandler movie that you're enjoying only

00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:09.880
takes up part of that pipe's space the

00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:14.200
space in the pipe yes we're continuing this analogy that would otherwise be

00:01:12.119 --> 00:01:18.759
empty can be filled with creamy delicious internet data packets which

00:01:16.320 --> 00:01:25.000
are kept separate from phone calls or cable TV by simply using a different

00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:27.960
frequency band similar to how different

00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:33.920
frequencies on your FM radio correspond to entirely different St

00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:40.720
so in the case of DSL which runs over a regular phone line phone calls only take

00:01:37.320 --> 00:01:43.960
up a very tiny part of the available

00:01:40.720 --> 00:01:46.560
bandwidth which explains why DSL is so

00:01:43.960 --> 00:01:52.399
much faster than a dialup connection since old school 56k internet could only

00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:58.039
use the frequencies that were dedicated to phone traffic to further increase

00:01:55.479 --> 00:02:02.719
speeds for the average user isps typically assign much more of the

00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:08.200
available bandwidth to Downstream traffic rather than Upstream as most

00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:12.959
people download far more things than they do upload which is why ADSL is a

00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:18.920
common term that you'll see in advertising with the a standing for

00:02:16.720 --> 00:02:24.400
asymmetric as your upload and download speeds will be usually very different of

00:02:22.440 --> 00:02:28.319
course if you need lots of Upstream bandwidth such as if you're a video

00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:34.200
production company you can actually get symmetric DSL or

00:02:30.959 --> 00:02:38.120
sdsl okay lonus I get it they both work

00:02:34.200 --> 00:02:40.599
by sending stuff down in empty part of a

00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:44.560
pipe or copper wire but how then are these two different well one of the

00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:49.360
biggest distinctions is one that you'll hear quite a bit from companies that are

00:02:46.519 --> 00:02:56.040
trying to sell you DSL and that is that your connection to the ISP is your own

00:02:53.519 --> 00:03:00.480
bandwidth on an incoming cable connection compared to DSL is often

00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:05.319
shared by many other people in your neighborhood so if tons of people are

00:03:02.519 --> 00:03:10.400
streaming in 4k on Netflix or downloading games off steam at once your

00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:16.920
speed will often suffer so that's great DSL is a dedicated connection just for

00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:19.680
you but It suffers from its own

00:03:16.920 --> 00:03:23.599
bottleneck the farther you are physically located from your internet

00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:30.200
service provider or one of their stations the slower your DSL connection

00:03:27.040 --> 00:03:32.480
will be since DSL isn't comp compatible

00:03:30.200 --> 00:03:38.000
with the boosting equipment that phone companies use to make sure that you have

00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:40.000
a clear conversation from 3,000 M away

00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:46.040
this is part of the reason that cable connections are often faster though DSL

00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:51.319
is often a cheaper Choice especially since contrary to a popular

00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:55.079
misconception you don't necessarily need

00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:57.560
phone service to get DSL as many isps

00:03:55.079 --> 00:04:03.599
offer DSL over something called a dry Loop even if you don't pay to make calls

00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:05.720
on a landline so shop around a bit and

00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:11.239
keep those things in mind in your quest to find the most reliable ISP so your

00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:17.479
connection won't suddenly drop out in the middle of a twitch stream a crucial

00:04:13.640 --> 00:04:20.959
field goal kick or Counter Strike and

00:04:17.479 --> 00:04:23.360
