DESCRIPTION:
Derek Ferguson works firsthand with broadband as Head of Development for InterAccess. Mike Stockman is a veteran technical writer and trainer, specializing in network security and various operating systems. As a full-time telecommuter, he has used many forms of Internet access. His technical writing and lectures cover wireless communications,
It devotes more than half of its space to explanations of how much more enjoyable surfing is with a fast link--duh--and dedicates most of the rest of its pages to discussions of local area network (LAN) subjects that other books cover far better. Broadband Internet Access for Dummies, unfortunately, doesn't have much to say about the technical aspects of high-speed Internet connectivity for the home or office. The authors compare various DSL services (ADSL, SDSL, and so on), and show how to share an Internet connection among several computers. This book doesn't have any of that. But those aren't the people who would buy books about high-speed Internet access. It's true that most people who buy a DSL, cable modem, or satellite service don't configure it themselves, and instead rely on technicians from their DSL provider to get it working. --David WallTopics covered: The pleasures

"Helpful" according to Lisa Cade. As a novice broadband customer, I found this book to be easily understood and helpful. It provided practical information that my cable modem company was not forthcoming about as well as some good suggestions for how to make use of the extra speed of a cable modem. As with all Dummies books, it was zippy and tried to be funny, but a little more information would have been helpful in spots.. An Instant Classic! A Customer My grandkids have all been after me to get a faster Internet connection. I'd been resisting because I thought I could never understand it. After reading this book, I was able to get myself hooked up with DSL with hardly any trouble at all. Now I'm able to see my grandchildren across the country every day via video conferencing! I owe it all to this book.
