    I'm Considering Upgrading To Broadband, Finally...
    But My Current Computer Is Older, And Kinda Slow. Will Broadband Make A Big Difference In My Online Speed, Or Should I Wait Until I Get A Faster/upgraded Computer?
    Thanks For Any Advice!

    What kind of computer do you have?

    The internet speed with go up for sure, but the faster computer that you have the better internet performance that you will have.

    You figure cpu, harddrive and ram play about 30% the part in internet speed, your connection and its supporting hardware play the other 70%. Cable & Hybrid broadband <aka Digital Cable> are by far the fastest technology out there, well true govt style sat com blows doors on anything but good luck gettin it in ur average biz or home. and if tweeked properly and your paying for 3ghz u can expect to average 2.5 to 8ghz depending on the time of day and your area.

    hope that helps
