  Hi,
    Can anybody clarify the use of the words offline and online for
  Internet Service Providers.

    Vnmese Internet Service Providers like to claim themself as Online
  and
  classify others as Offline. I don't know what that means and why
  they
  like to be Online better than Offline and what is the criteria for
  the truth.

  Sorry about my Ignorance.

  Thanks in Advance

Hi anh AiViet,
Online == receiver can receive during 3 minutes
Offline == receiver can receive according to their schedule (i.e. 1, 2,
3 days)
I don't have time to explaine in detail. Hope to see you later.
Your question was my question last week!!
