How one accesses the Internet greatly impacts how they interact, what they experience, how - and if - they download files, how they send and receive mail, and whether they remain online all the time or connect only temporarily.
Dial-up services generally provide slower, temporary access to the Internet. The user dials a local or toll-free telephone number much like making a regular voice telephone call. Upon completing the immediate task, the user disconnects.
Cable and digital telephone services like ISDN and DSL permit high-speed access thus improving multimedia activities and file downloading. Cable services can provide continuous, near-permanent connections allowing continuous, near-immediate receipt of mail access without need for dial-up and login.
