Different Types of Internet Connections
There are many ways a personal electronic device can connect to the internet. They all use different hardware and each has a range of connection speeds. As technology changes, faster internet connections are needed to handle those changes. I thought it would be interesting to list some of the different types of internet connections that are available for home and personal use, paired with their average speeds.
Dial-Up (Analog 56K): Dial-up access is cheap but slow. A modem (internal or external) connects to the Internet after the computer dials a phone number.
DSL.:DSL stands for Digital Subscriber Line. It is an internet connection that is always “on”. This uses 2 lines so your phone is not tied up when your computer is connected.
Cable: Cable provides an internet connection through a cable modem and operates over cable TV lines.
Wireless: Wireless, or Wi-Fi, as the name suggests, does not use telephone lines or cables to connect to the internet. Instead, it uses radio frequency.
Satellite: Satellite accesses the internet via a satellite in Earth’s orbit. The enormous distance that a signal travels from earth to satellite and back again, provides a delayed connection compared to cable and DSL.
