Why using Ethernet Cables Should be Your Priority?
by Mediacom Cable Internet Service Providers & TelecommunicationsOf course, everybody knows about the Wi-Fi, but has it
always been around? No, right? There was a time when people relied only on
Ethernet cables to meet with their internet needs and there is no other way you
can use it better; that’s for sure! We might be sounding a bit outdated as we
are out here defending the good ol’ Ethernet cables; especially at a time like
this when everything has turned to Wi-Fi. Surely, there is no doubt that Wi-Fi
has enabled us to stay more connected than before and it is pretty much meeting
all our video streaming and social media using needs. But is that all there is
to life?
Wired internet, which is generally known as Ethernet
hasn’t gone completely obsolete (thank
God!) and with all the strength it possesses, it doesn’t seem
to be going anywhere! If you use a desktop or laptop to do your tasks – it
doesn’t matter if at home or work; there is no better way to use the internet,
than Ethernet cables. Thus, you can never overlook how great Ethernet cables
are. Still in doubt? Allow us to expand your knowledge.
Why
is Ethernet better?
Wi-Fi has changed our lives, tremendously. With the
great flexibility it has provided us, we can say that it is nothing but the
best mode of internet for work, video streaming, gaming, etc. But the
connectivity that a wired Ethernet provides, tops everything else. Wi-Fi
signals often get disrupted by heavy walls and metallic objects in their way.
Relatively, Ethernet cables provide better internet connectivity to your laptop
or desktop and provide it a full-throttled internet speed, with no disruptions
and lags.
Usually, when there are multiple devices connected
with Wi-Fi, it begins to slow down and sometimes it resorts to shutting down
completely. Ethernet cables are a great way to keep multiple devices connected
with the internet and if your internet connection is Spectrum then we
would just like to send a ton of appreciations your way.
Anyways, getting back to Ethernet Cables, it makes file
sharing pretty effortless. Internet connections can best be judged based on how
quickly they transfer a large file. Wi-Fi tends to lag whenever there is a
heavy file transferring taking place. Ethernet cables, on the other hand, are
like life saviors when it comes to sharing heavy files without affecting the
flow of the internet. Another key component that plays an important role for
Ethernet in providing super-fast internet speed is its Latency. People often
think that it’s the bandwidth that ensures a speedy, high-quality internet and
they overlook Latency. The lag that internet traffic experiences while getting
from the switch to its destination is called Latency. The folks from the networking
and gaming realm refer to latency as ‘Ping’. Ethernet cables provide better
internet connection because their latency is low. This is super effective in
fetching data promptly, at the time of gaming or file sharing.
Ethernet cable is probably one of the best ways
through which you can use the internet, without any hassle. Of course, we do
not mean to pick nits on Wi-Fi, because it keeps our mobile devices connected
with the internet, provides us a great mobility and also, doesn’t clutter our
workplaces and homes. But, when it comes to consistency, we still think that
nothing tops Ethernet cables. Packed with a ton of benefits such as better
speed, reduced latency, and reliability, Ethernet cables are sure to add
convenience to your everyday internet usage. Just plug it into its switch and
that’s all you’ll ever have to do to make it function like a stable internet
connection.
