Potential Benefits of High-speed Internet Access


High-speed Internet is reliable and constant. In fact, in many cases, it can be more secure because there is a smaller time frame in which packets of data are available on a network. A reliable connection prevents important processes, such as business transactions, from losing signals. For business owners, it would be beneficial to easily connect to clients both at home and overseas with fluent video and audio streams. For students, fast internet access allows for a larger allocation of information, and therefore a higher literacy rate (which can be seen in Korea’s extraordinarily high testing results).Korean students know how to set up websites with large databases and can even block IP address from certain countries. Recreational use of the internet would improve as well: web pages would load faster and there would be a lesser chance of them freezing, downloading of audio and visual files, programs, and software updates would take a less amount of time, and larger video and audio files (as well as higher quality) can be uploaded quickly.
