Most people access the Internet with a standard modem, but find it slow.
Although in most parts of the world, 56K modems are considered a decent option, most Canadians would disagree. In fact, many people have held back on purchasing a high-speed modem until the official announcement of an industry standard between the K56 FLEX and X2 technologies. And for home computer users who want more realized speeds over the Internet than can be achieved using 56K modems, the only other choice has been the costly ISDN service. Although ISDN is a consideration for some home users, it is generally considered to be far too expensive to become a mainstream solution. Well say goodbye to 56K modems and to ISDN hook-ups because there are a couple new kids on the block.
