What's different about broadband internet?

Broadband internet has largely replaced dial-up internet service because of its convenience and accessibility across the country. Prior to broadband service, many Americans used dial-up internet. However, dial-up's capabilities depended upon the use of a phone line, and customers had to choose between using the phone line for talking or for getting online. With the introduction of broadband internet service, consumers could enjoy the convenience of talking on the telephone while surfing the Web.

The term "broadband internet" represents a wide range of internet options which include:

DSL (Digital Subscriber Line)

DSL internet transfers information through telephone lines without interfering with telephone calls. Because DSL uses higher frequency bands to transfer digital data than the bands necessary for voice conversations over the telephone line, you don't experience interference. In order to use DSL, the customer or technician places a DSL filter on the phone outlet to remove high-frequency interference. DSL internet speeds differ according to the customer's proximity to the switching station. If you live far from a station, you may suffer from the frustration of slower speeds.

Cable Internet Service

Instead of using telephone lines, cable internet uses local cable TV lines to transfer digital data. Customers can use the telephone freely, and cable television isn't affected by the internet connection. Because neighbors often share their internet bandwidth, service may end up being slower than predicted by the broadband cable internet providers.

Fiber optic

Fiber optic internet uses thin strands of glass to transfer data. Consumers don't have to fuss with internet lines or worry about heavy internet traffic affecting speeds with fiber optic service. However, fiber optic broadband internet connections are not widely available because fiber optic internet providers have to wait for fiber optic cable installation in cities across America.

Wireless internet broadband solutions

Wireless broadband internet provides the convenience of online connections that travel with you throughout the service provider's coverage area. Plug a modem or card into your laptop, and the entire internet playground is all yours.
