There are many of us out there still listening to those horrible sounds of a dial-up modem to get connected to the Internet. There are even more who don?t have any internet connection whatsoever. For those of you following either of those roads let me tell you why you need to make a U-turn and go the other direction.
Most likely you're not reading this on a computer if you haven't got an internet connection. Please, go out and get one. I'm not saying you need purchase a PC worth thousands of dollars; there are places you can get one for a few hundred dollars that will work very well. Then you'll need to get a DSL or cable connection that'll cost at most an additional $45 a month, and some run as low as $15 a month. (This'lldepend on your speed/location).
You can save hundreds of dollars by using a broadband connection. Here?s how: If you have dial-up, you?re paying for connectivity by the minute. Since dial-up is very slow compared to broadband (like comparing walking vs. driving) you?re wasting your money waiting for those pages to load.
Secondly, the more you use the Internet, the more money you will save making purchases. You may be surprised to see that goods are much cheaper on the Internet compared to department or boutique stores, even when you account for shipping. You don?t pay sales taxes when purchased out of state and since the retailer is not wasting money on a storefront and employees, their overhead is much lower (that translates to lower prices for the consumer).
Do not throw your money away talking on the telephone or sending letters to family and friends, when you can do it via email for free although it is less personal. It is a lot quicker and very practical.
Online banking can save you money since many banks offer incentives and charge lower fees when using an online account. Just like in retail, the banks can spend less overhead on tellers and physical offices and share some of that profit with you.
Auction or classified ads sites benefit many people. EBay and Craigslist for example allow you to sell what you may consider junk, but someone else considers treasure.
Vonage and Skype are popular voice over IP companies with lower rates than telephone companies. With these Technologies, the internet is used so that your voice could be transported across the world for a smaller fee than the traditional phone call.
Why pay for the newspaper to be delivered, when you can read any article from around the world for free.
Of coarse you could do all this with the dial-up connection you have, but why would you want to continually deal with the painfully slow connection, when for as little as $10 a month, you can easily make the upgrade to a high speed broadband connection? You'll easily earn back this money, and save quite a few dollars with the tips you've been given.
