Here's why ethernet is the hottest thing since sliced bread.
It's Faster than the Speed of Sound
It's faster than the speed of sound, not to mention faster than the speed of dial up internet. If you're still using that slow old modem, it really is time to make the switch. You'll be absolutely shocked at how fast the web can be if you're still using that old thing. You really can download entire movies in just an hour or so, you can download Youtube videos in seconds flat, and you can load web pages in the time it takes to click the link.
It's Just About the Most Reliable Service, Period
Cable has a lot of spikes in terms of lag and downtime. Satellite will go down every single time a rain cloud drifts over your roof. Dial up... Don't get us started. If you want to do high-speed online gaming (and we're not talking about playing DOOM deathmatches here), if you want to enjoy everything the internet has to offer on your own time, not its, then switch to ethernet.
It's the Best for Wireless
Ethernet can bring information into your modem faster than the router can send it to your computer, this is why it's perfect for setting up with a wireless router. With wireless you can get that information and data onto your laptop or PC just as fast as it can be delivered to your home.
It's Pretty Easy to Set Up
Cable can be somewhat confusing, not to mention you may wind up having to splice it and share it with your TV. Satellite internet, until recently, actually required you to hold an FCC license as it's technically a form of broadcasting. If you can set up dial up internet, ethernet is the same thing, just tens of times as fast. You plug it into the modem, you plug the modem into the router, you set the router up to your computer, and you're good to go. It really is as simple as all that.
Look, it's not 1998 anymore. Matchbox 20 hasn't released a good album in over a decade, flannel shirts are out of style, and nobody's using AOL 2.0 for all their internet needs anymore. If you're tired of waiting all day for your email to load, if you want to stop using stone age internet, then stop waiting and start using ethernet today.
