Broadband will always be used but should be used by only people who can
be trusted. Using it everywhere is dangerous. Its so fast and quiet. The
theft
is complete before an alarm can be raised. Its like giving a burglar the

Broadband makes such stealing so easy. It would take several truck loads
of floppies to steal that much data. Broadband goes everywhere in a
company.
Its quiet and super fast. It can empty files out faster than a speeding
bullet.
Access to it should be manually controled at a switch board by specia

Dial up uses analog signals transmitted over copper wire. Fiber is
digital end-to-end.
When you dial up, you presumably use a modem and connect via an RJ45

Copper is long gone and my dial up still works.Fiber is just a carrier.

Improved tech makes things better; just ask Sony. Broadband use made the

My dial up is so slow it takes a half hour to download a virus, plenty of

Then why would you use DOS for those kind of tasks? It's the same thing.
