Understanding The Differences Between Internet Connections

When determining which type of Internet connection is right for you or your family, it's important to understand
the distinction between each connection. In today's age, there are numerous ways to connect laptops, desktops, mobile
phones, gaming consoles, e-readers and tablets to the Internet. Some of the most widely used Internet connections are
described below.

A. DIAL – UP CONNECTION
➢ Dial-up access is really just like a phone connection
➢ Connection through modem and a public telephone network.
➢ It uses analog telephone lines
➢ Encoding & Decoding of analog signals is done by modem
➢ •Using a dial-up line to transmit data is similar to using the
telephone to make a call Speed is only 56 kbps

ADVANTAGES
➢ Low cost
➢ Availability

DISADVANTAGES
➢ Low Speed
➢ Requires phone line
➢ Route busy

B. DSL(Digital Subscriber Line)

➢ High-speed data service that works over copper telephone lines
➢ 960 Kbps download & 120 Kbps upload.
➢ Price not much more than the price of dial up, but
twice the speed.

ADVANTAGES
➢ DSL simultaneously keeps your Internet connection
and phone lines open
➢ Downloads are faster than uploads
➢ DSL uses the existing wiring infrastructure of your
telephone lines

DISADVANTAGES
➢ Large amount of uploading is not possible
➢ DSL is limited to a certain perimeter
➢ Compared to dial up ,it is expensive

3
C. CABLE MODEM
➢ Cable modems provide Internet access using the same cables that
transmit cable television
➢ Cable modems are primarily used to deliver broadband internet access
in the form of cable internet
➢ Cable modem connections are faster than dial-up and DSL
connections.

ADVANTAGES
➢ High connection speed
➢ Convenient
➢ Does not affect your phone line https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cable_modem
➢ Easy setup with self-installation kit
DISADVANTAGES
➢ Higher price than dialup and DSL connection
➢ Higher security risk than dialup or DSL
➢ Not available to all cable TV networks

D. WIRELESS/ WIFI(WIRELESS FIDELITY)

➢ Radio frequency bands are used in place of telephone or cable networks.
➢ Vic Hayes has been named as father of Wi-Fi
➢ Practical range is about 90 meters (300 feet) from the
transceiver using normal powered transmitters
➢ At least 7 or more end users can be sharing the same master
transceiver & still each be able to get up to 1544 Kbps.

ADVANTAGES
➢ Flexible working
➢ Reduced set up cost
➢ Password and security

DISADVANTAGES
➢ Climatic conditions

E. SATELLITE CONNECTION
➢ Internet access provided through satellites
➢ Data is being sent from the satellite to a user's equipment and
then translated and decoded.
➢ Delivered through satellite dish
➢ Equipment required-mini dish satellite receiver and satellite
modem
➢ Upload speed-128 kbps
➢ Download speed-400 kbps

ADVANTAGES
➢ High speed internet access
➢ Does not tie up with local phone service or cable TV
subscription
➢ Connection speed is not affected by phone or cable wiring

DISADVANTAGES
➢ More expensive than DSL and cable
➢ Large setup fee. Expensive equipment upfront. Has to be set up by trained technician.

4
F. WiMax
➢ Worldwide Interoperability of Microwave Access
➢ Broadband wireless access technique
➢ Offers fast broadband connections over long
distance
➢ Range of up to 30 miles
➢ Improves non-line-of-sight performance
➢ Great advantage to rural communities where cable
& DSL wasn't available & to developing nations

ADVANTAGES
➢ Wimax coverage
➢ Wimax high speed
➢ Multi-functionality within Wimax Technology

DISADVANTAGES
➢ Lack of quality https://gppanchkula.ac.in/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/INTERNET-ACCESS-METHODS.pdf
➢ Wimax range
➢ Wimax bandwidth
➢ High cost
G. ISDN
➢ Integrated Services Digital Network
➢ Standard for digital telecommunications that allows
fast digital dialup connections
➢ It put together speech and information on the same
line
➢ 64kbps
ADVANTAGES
➢ Multiple digital channels
➢ Speedy
➢ It can be used for other activities like
➢ videoconferencing
DISADVANTAGE
➢ It is very costly than the other typical telephone
system
https://www.nextiva.com/blog/what-is-isdn.html

H. WLAN(Wireless Local Area Network)

➢ Provide wireless network communication over short distances
➢ Uses radio or infrared signals instead of traditional network
cabling
ADVANTAGES
➢ It’s a reliable sort of communication
➢ Reduce the value of ownership
➢ Easier to remove or feature workstation
DISADVANTAGE
➢ Requires license
➢ Limited area to hide
➢ Due to low security as attackers can get access to the
transmitted data.
