AT&T vs Comcast

Here we are having a brief look at the services (Internet Broadband services of two of the biggest giant of United States market)

Comcast is one of the biggest suppliers of cable internet in the United States, and they comfortably disposed themselves in a lot of markets where there is small to no competition. AT&T is ready to introduce u-verse in a lot of markets that Comcast has a confirmed presence in, and the competition and this competition is important from end user point of view .

Both of these service providers are very aggressive towards their customers and try to give them promotions on regular basis. Market in the United states is although very big but still there is a limit so there is a need that these two giants must look around the world for some more emerging market opportunities.

The experience of serving the clients in a proper and efficient manner is what that matters and can do or can break your relation with any supplier of services. Comcast is well established, therefore the installations should not be as difficult or that much time consuming job, and you would perhaps not need to ask for technical support of them. Comcast has a report of bad customer services for all of their services including the broadband internet and their technical support, and there is the you can find the complaints of this that can be found on the internet and blogs that people have discussed about. Since AT&T u-verse is a very young service, you can foresee AT&T to work harder to maintain customers. AT&T is still in a process of developing, installing, and increasing the u-verse, therefore you can need to take advantage service clientele of AT&T and of technical support more often as the service crosses growing pains.

Almost all business companies in all sort of business and even in this Cable business tend to furnish their services to a higher price and usually overprice service in the markets where there is very less competition.
AT&T also encourage customers that they subscribe to their cell services. They do it by giving them all sort of bundle discounts when they take package with the same company. Comcast offers the highest speeds of downloading Internet with of their Triple packets of Game, but AT&T furnishes one in a significant way bigger line of chain than Comcast in some markets.

Comcast also began to apply the cap of maximum bandwidth in some markets which is not a good thing from customers point of view especially when they are so addicted to internet and watch TV and Movies there and keep sign in on social networking sites for 24 hours seven days a week. AT&T does not strangle the u-vers, but they run the processes of cap of the bandwidth in the certain markets. AT&T will remain neutral when it is a matter to prioritize data as apposed to Comcast. AT&T recognizes as certain of their width of band their intensive services like the HD on IP and VoIP can have for result of the speeds of transmission of slower data when they are used, but they are not re prioritizing the data transmission.

None of these services out of these two are perfect, in fact nothing is perfect in this world, and they the two of them have their own flaws, but AT&T is less aggressive in the terms to handle data traffic. Since AT&T is anxious to recruit again customers, you can foresee them to work harder to keep happy customers and build relationships with them.

Some time you will see that you will find printers so cheap that you cannot imagine. The logic behind this is that the major companies sell their printers first on very nominal prices and low prices but their logic is that they want to profit from selling the cartridges because cartridge is a disposable thing and a person will keep on purchasing additional cartridges again and again and printer manufacturers will keep on profiting from this . So the best method is to refill cartridge instead of buying a new one.

The main organizations which manufactures the printers are as followes HP, Brothersoft, Cannon, Samsung, Belkin, Epson Apple, BIXOLON (24), Brother, Canon, Casio, Citizen, Citizen Systems, Craft ROBO Pro, Dell, Epson, Fargo, Global Marketing Partners, Hi-Touch Imaging, HiTi Digital Inc, HP, Kodak, Konica, Konica-Minolta, Kyocera, Lexmark, LG, MBM, Minolta, Nisca, OKI, Oki Data, Olympus, Pacific Image, Panasonic, PanDigital, Pentax, Philips, Pictorico, Planon System Solutions, Planon Systems, Polaroid, Primera Technology, QMS, Ricoh, Samsung, SiPix, Smart Shopper, Sony, Star (SS-MS), Summit, Tektronix, TRENDnet, Trendware, Xerox, Zebra .

Also a person must know how to refill cartridge if he want to avoid this hassle of filling or refilling the cartridge again and again. For example if you have a inkjet printer of from any manufacturer for example HP. So in order to refill hp cartridge for a inkjet printer you will find refilling kits from market . These hp ink cartridge refilling kits contains inks which can refill the inkjet printer cartridge 3-4 times. Once the ink is finished you can simply unplug the cartridge and drain a small hole in it , then refill the ink in it and put it back on its place.

Also the other way to find cheap inkjet cartridges is to look for cheap deals from the internet as many sites sell refurbished cartridges now . Also if you have laser printer from any manufacturer the powder can be refilled and the entire toner does not need to be replaced. This will save you tremendous cost. Also if you are a high end or frequent user of printers it is advisable that you purchase a laser printer instead of inkjet. Dot matrix printers are sort of obsolete for normal office use now as they are very slow and create a lot of noise.

There are many other problems which can come into a laser printer cartridge and it is related to many of its components. Ebay also have many sellers selling refurbished ink cartridges but there is a risk and that is if say you purchase a refurbished cartridge from a person selling on ebay but when you get it and it didnot work then you even waste your money and time. Also it is difficult to refill a color inkjet printer and color laser printer.

For the owners of Laptops it is always a constant headache that sooner of later the battery of their notebook is going to die and will keep on deteriorating. It happens actually that with the passage of time the battery life decreases and you get to a point where your laptop will need to be plugged in all the time in order to keep it running. At that point the battery will not be able to withhold the charge even for a minute. Here we would give you few tips and hints about extending life of your notebook. Here are the things you can do to extend or increase the lifespan of your laptop computer.

A. Never Charge your notebook battery to its fullest . The least you charge the more life it have.

B. Also when you shut down your notebook and store it for example at the end of working day try that it is minimally charged.

C. Also make sure that you are using the original dell or other vendor charger recommended by that vendor other wise you can blow out your battery and ruin it. Also you have to carefully read the input voltage of your charger while you are traveling to another country because some countries have different Voltage than USA/Canada for example in UK they use 220 Volts. So if you would plug in your laptop their either your charger will burn or it will harm your computer or your battery.

D. Slow charging is also getting importance although it may irritate some people that their laptop is taking too long to charge but some times fast charging can burn your battery too. Although as a ordinary laptop user you can do nothing to decrease or increase the speed of charging.

E. While purchasing a customized Dell laptop always look for a battery with more cells and Lithium Ion or LI or LIB. Also Lithium Ion batteries are light weight batteries as compared to other batteries. Also for your safety make sure Lithium-ion batteries can ignite and rupture and can explode when temperature rises too high so make sure that your laptop is well ventilated and have some space below so that its fans can exhaust the hot air out of the notebook. Other types of batteries are Potassium-ion battery, Nanowire battery

F. High Temperature is battery life killer. As explained earlier if your laptop gets too hot its battery life will degrade quickly

These were the steps you can take in order to increase and extend the life of your rechargeable batteries. But even you take all these precautions there is a life associated with rechargeable batteries. Once you lose your battery than you have to purchase it from some where. For example your battery is dead after 3-4 years of your laptop purchase. There is a good chance that the vendor have stopped the manufacture of that particular model. So you have to ask your local dell dealer or if you have have laptop of Sony or Acer on any other vendor you can ask your local dealer but there is a very good chance that their price will be high. Some times in the range of couple of hundred dollars which can obviously make you think that why are you changing your battery because after that 3-4 years you laptop might cost 3-4 hundred dollars . For dell laptop battery or any other notebook battery we recommend that you go online and look for the Laptop battery deals on websites . You have to take out the battery from your machine and read out the model number of battery because some times more than one laptop models can have same battery. So you have to look explicitly to that model no. After you are sure of the model number you can google it and then look it for online. For dell batteries or other computer battery you can also go to amazon , ebay or other relevant sites. Ebay would be better because it is a universal site and there will be sellers on there from all over the world and you can get a real good deal. For Dell Laptop battery replacement you will again have to keep in mind that there are many types of batteries even for one model like 6 cell , 9 cell . The more cells it have the more better will it be for you as they will can run your machine for a longer period of time.

For models which are really well selling in the market it is also worth giving a try to your local computer parts store and look for that particular thing there. Although it is very difficult that small store will carry the spare Dell batteries because if they dont sell the batteries within time it will die no matter if they are used or not.

Now some further suggestion are that always try to use voltage stabilizer before your AC adapter which will save you notebook AC adapter and battery or dell batteries of electric shocks. If you get car laptop battery charger for your machine it should be made by a reputable company so that it can provide a stable voltage. If you are looking for battery replacement for your Laptop always go to you local vendor first but it there is a substantial difference in price between vendor and internet vendor than it is worth trying the web. Dell Lithium batteries are lighter that other non Lithium batteries so consider LI ION batteries for dell Notebook as a laptop battery replacement because of their light weight (after all you purchased your notebook for the reason that it was light weight and portable. ).

For other Dell Laptop spare parts and cheap dell accessories or battery warehouse or whole sale you can also visit the internet. Some of names of Dell latest model nos are here

You might have have heard of this phrase probably thousands of times but this is true that the world is a Global Village now a days and news spread by the speed of light. If some event occurs any where in the world , within few seconds of its occurrence people on the other side of the globe know of it. Few years ago when this all so called global village thing started most of the users were using internet via a dial up method.

Dial up means that you have to connect your telephone line with a dial up modem which is connected to a PC. Then you dial a particular number which you ISP (Internet Service Provider) have provided you with. On the ISP end they have all the equipment which accepts your call and you are connected. In those days ISPs usually had internet connections via Satellites or Fiber optics etc.

As you have to use modem and telephone cable for this sort of connection there was the problem of speed. Usually dial up connections are very slow and a typical speed is like 56 K per seconds. Then became the famous ISDN and typical speeds were like 128 K . With dial ups there were frequent disconnects in the connection. Mean while the demand from the people increased competition among ISP comanies and they keep on racing for faster connections and more better connections and speeds to get better internet speed.

We than approach in this era where Broad band users are more in no. than dial up users(at least we can say it for sure in developed countries).
Most of the people in North America and Europe, Australia , Japan etc use cable internet or DSL internet . The major advantage if this is tremendous speeds like 10 Mb/Sec and plus your phone line is not busy.

So the liberty is that you can be online for 24 hours a day as your internet is no longer dependent on the phone line. In developed countries there is a lot of competition amongst Internet Service Provider companies and they offer various packages and cheap internet services to win more and more customers. This market is actually pretty lucrative so that’s why we see that the big giants companies invest in ISP services.

Also many time the ISPs also provide cable tv services and Mobile phone services and there is a good chance that if you can grab a customer that use one
of your service you can recruit that client to use more of your services by offering him bundle packages and some discounts. Broadband internet service now a days is not a luxury it is a norm now a days.

There are still places available like faraway places with no company offering their internet or broadband services there and people there use Satellite internet to get the speed they desire. Broad band internet services are also reshaping regular telephone service and people are using services like Vonage , Skype and many more which are connected via internet and you can dial all around the world at fraction of cost of regular telephone.

Here are few thing you must look before choosing or comparing your internet services provider. Look at your usage like if you are using VOIP phones you have to look for a faster Internet services provider because your voice have to go over web. They comes the issue of economy . You can compare the list of various companies which provide internet services in your area. Then you can look at their packages , bandwidth allowance per month, download speeds, upload speeds, reliability, customer support and other things before you finally do a contract with your broadband service provider.

It is advisable that you dont go in contract because these providers some times offers amazing deals and if you are already on a contract then you cannot avail the opportunity.

In this era of technology when even a child of age 2 years have started to use smart phones and have started to play games. School going children usually have a good idea what internet is and they even get assignments from their teachers on how to use the web to learn and explore things and how to find useful sites and how to use the search engines to extract data and find useful information they are looking for.

Business have thus realized quickly that they cannot survive without a very good working website which could aid in getting them more business. Business are even going beyond this approach and using various tools to market their site. Instead of sending paper brochures which could take thousands of dollars in printing and then thousands more in mailing or distributing them they have realized that the newsletters are the way to go so they now send you newsletters of their latest deals via email if you are sign up for that. Also they show their best deals on their websites.

So the conclusion is that a good business will need a good website if it is to keep up with its competitors. Once they are done with their website then comes the problem of hosting this site. The main problem in choosing a hosting company is the reliability. It is difficult to find a reliable hosting company because every other company will claim that they are very good company and they are reliable and their servers are the fastest and so on and so forth. The main thing you should consider before finding your host company are many but we are discussing a few here
First thing is to find out if they have a power back available in case of complete power outage because this happens you will be left with no other option other than to scratch your head and curse your decision. Also you must know the Geographical area from where your potential visitors of your website are coming. You should try your best to host your site nearest to the location your most visitors are coming from .

To give you an example let suppose most of your clients or website visitors will be from United Kingdom or UK. In our opinion you must give preference to a UK Hosting company which can turn out to be SEO hosting because site is fast. Reason for this UK host preference is that the internet data takes some times to come from the web server if they are far away. Data have to pass through different routes and routers before it finally appear at your screen. If you are with a UK hosting company and you are visiting website from within UK (United kingdom) chances are that the route will be a shorter one and the page would be loaded at lightning speed.

This would give your client a good experience and they don’t have to keep on waiting after they click on any page of your site. So instead of going for fastest web host claims you must go to nearest web host thing. They obviously comes other factors like reliable hosting, hack free hosting and many other factors for your business web hosting.
