Well I have been on cable internet for last 1 year which is on 64kbps...
Now I have been thinking of upgrading it to 256kbps or 512kbps....(the fact that we can upgrade to 256kbps or 512kbps...i came to know a few days back only; infact what is kbps and what does 64;256 or 512kbps imply; i came to know a few days back only)
Now I am really confused as to certain following questions as when things comes to technical side of computer and on top of it networking..I am at a total loss...
Before putting forward my questions, i would like to give the link to the plan which i am considering to take:
http://www.tataindicombroadband.com/access...post-india.html
Please see the link above (its just one small page) and be kind enough to answer my following questions...............
1. I can take either USB Modem connections OR
Router connections. Now Modem costs me rs2000 and router costs rs3000.
Now i know that modem is something which we need to connect to internet. But why it costs rs 2000 and what is router and why it is costly?
Do i get any advantage if i take router over modem (i presume we do most probably thats why router is costing more)?
But what is the definite advantage?
Finally which one should I take and why?
Will it still be usable after i leave this companys connection?
2. In the bottom of the page u can see that
"Note: 1 Free Static IP for all router connections. " is available...
Now I dont understand what is static IP address and does it have any advantage....
3. Plus I want to use this connection broadband from home PC. But say if i am in different city can i take advantage of this broadband internet in another city on another PC possibly by entering my login and password? (sorry if this q was too stupid)
4. Any other suggestions, comments, opinions....also does know of any other service which one can take from Kolkata, India apart from i mentioned...
I tried to understand what is router, static ip address on
google but its too tough for a newbie like me....
I want to use home PC for online share trading which requires live real time streaming quotes from stock excahnges and instant execution of order...hence the need to upgrade...i dont want to host web server; email server (i hope the last few words were not meaningless...)
Plz clarify in as much detail as possible with ur recommendation........
and yes please explain to me in simpler terms (i am incapable of understanding too much technical computer terms; i am a purely finance guy: just i am to use computer to do work for online stock trading)
I dont want volume based (limiting to 500 MB or 1 GB per month) or time based (25 hrs at 512kbps per month)..... but seems to have no option either
Thank you very very much for taking your time to read and reply,
With best regards,
Sunando
