The Internet offers people access to information about the world we live in. The technology that shapes the Internet is rapidly reshaping the world around us. It is changing how we live and how we do business. The experience of learning and using the Internet can sometimes be frustrating. The capabilities of the equipment you use, the speed of the modem connection and the quality of the telephone company phone lines affect Internet Services. The Internet Service Provider uses POTS (Plain old telephone system) phone lines just as you do to deliver the Internet. These phone lines are designed for voice not data communications. If you live in an area where the phone lines are old, you may experience problems when connecting to the Internet, such as getting disconnected and slow connect speeds. These occurrences are symptomatic of poor telephone company lines. You may occasionally hear static when you're making voice calls. The Internet Service Provider does not and can not control the quality of the telephone lines in your area.
