It is unlikely that anyone will dispute the fact that in the vastness of the global web you can find almost any information. Especially if you know where to look. But in this case, it may seem that it is quite possible to get by with just one search engine - for example, Google or Yandex. Alas, this is not entirely true.
Let's do a little experiment together - we’ll type in the search bar the query “how to connect to the Internet via phone”. In response, more than 4 million pages with this topic are offered. Awesome figure! However, even on the 10th page in issuing a search engine, an answer to the question of
how to connect to the Internet via telephone, you can not get. Instructions are provided for making a connection with the provider via a mobile phone, and wired home ones, the same ones with disks and buttons, are undeservedly forgotten. One of the solutions to the problem of finding information is to change the search engine. We will act differently, and in this article we will give an answer to the question of how to connect to the Internet via phone. Moreover, we consider wired devices as more specific.
Initially, the main objective of the phone was to provide voice communications. The telephone exchange equipment, in accordance with the dialed numbers, temporarily connected the subscribers with a communication line. Simple and effective.
But a few decades ago, the cost of computing began to decline rapidly. Many computer owners have begun to think about how to connect to the Internet. The choice was small - the phone. It is interesting that little has changed since then - the principle of solving the problem remains the same. So how to connect to the Internet via phone?
There are only two ways to connect: classic Dial-Up and more advanced ADSL technology. In both cases, you must first find a company that provides access to the global network via a telephone line and, having concluded an agreement, become their subscriber.
Dial-up technology provides speed on good lines with digital telephone exchanges of no more than 7 kb / s (56 kb). In order to “launch” the Internet through a home telephone, in addition to the contract, it is necessary to connect the wire to the device to the modem. In most laptops it is built-in. The connector resembles Ethernet, but with fewer pins.
In Windows 7, launch the "Network Control Center" (right-click on the monitor icon in the lower right corner). Open "Create a new connection." Then everything is simple: the Internet connection is dial-up. We indicate the dialed number and password / login - this data is issued by the provider. Please note that the modem in the system must be detected (install the driver). Usually, in addition to the cost of the service, the subscriber pays every minute of the connection at the standard tariffs of the telephone company. Now, due to the low speed of Dial-Up, access has lost its relevance. Its advantage is the theoretical ability to use the services of very remote providers.
ADSL asymmetric broadband technology is a very competitive solution providing speeds up to 24 Mbps. A special modem and a splitter box are required (it makes it possible to work simultaneously with the phone and the Internet). A provider working with ADSL, when registering a subscriber, enters his phone number into his user database. Special expensive equipment must be installed on the PBX service number (therefore, villagers, alas, are often deprived of the opportunity to work with ADSL).
You must enter the provider settings in the modem - VCI and VPI numbers. Here you can specify the password and username provided during registration (for the router). Connection setup is similar to Dial-Up - you just need to specify "High-speed, asking for a password."
