    Types of Internet Connections

    This document discusses various types of internet connections including dial-up, ISDN, DSL (ADSL, ADSL2+, SDSL, VDSL), cable, and wireless. Dial-up is the slowest and most basic using phone lines, while fiber optic and cable options provide faster speeds. DSL technologies like ADSL are very common and deliver speeds from 1-9 Mbps down and 16-640 Kbps up over phone lines. Cable internet is very fast but uses coaxial cables instead of phone lines. Wireless is mobile but typically has higher costs and speeds that vary by location.

    Types Of Internet Connections

     Dial-Up or Analog Connection


     ISDN
     B-ISDN
     DSL
     ADSL
     ADSL +2
     SDSL
     VDSL
     Cable
     Wireless
    Dial-Up / Analog
    It is both economical and slow. Using
    a modem connected to your PC, users connect to the
    Internet when the computer dials a phone number
    (provided by the ISP) and connects to the network. Dial-
    up is an analog connection because data is sent over an
    analog,  public telephone network. The modem converts
    received analog data to digital and vise versa. Because
    dial-up access uses normal telephone lines the quality of
    the connection is not always good and data rates are
    limited.
    Connection Speed varies from 2400 bps to 56 kbps.
    ISDN
     Integrated services digital network
    (ISDN) is an international
    communications standard for sending
    voice, video, and data over digital
    telephone lines or normal telephone
    wires.
     Typical ISDN connection speed
    ranges from 64 kbps to 128 kbps.
    B-ISDN
     Broadband ISDN is similar in function
    to ISDN but it transfers data over
    fiber optic telephone lines, not normal
    telephone wires. SONET is the
    physical transport backbone of B-
    ISDN. Broadband ISDN has not been
    widely implemented.
    DSL
     DSL is also called an always on
    connection because it uses existing 2-
    wire copper telephone line connected
    to the premise and will not tie up
    your phone as a dial-up connection
    does. There is no need to dial-in to
    your ISP as DSL is always on. The
    two main categories of DSL for home
    subscribers are called ADSL and
    SDSL.
    ADSL
     ADSL is the most commonly deployed
    types of DSL in North America. Short
    for asymmetric digital subscriber line
    ADSL supports data rates of from 1.5
    to 9 Mbps when receiving data
    (known as the downstream rate) and
    from 16 to 640 Kbps when sending
    data (known as the upstream rate).
    ADSL requires a special ADSL
    modem.
    ADSL +2
     ADSL+2A is an extension to ADSL broadband
    technology that provides subscribers with significantly
    faster download speeds when compared to traditional
    ADSL connections. ADSL+2 works in the same fashion
    as ADSL a special filter is installed on a subscriber's
    telephone line to split existing copper telephone lines
    (POTS) between regular telephone (voice) and
    ADSL+2. ADSL2+ service is most commonly offered
    in highly-populated metropolitan areas and
    subscribers must be in close geographical locations to
    the provider's central office to receive ADSL2+
    service. 
    SDSL
     SDSL is still more common in Europe. Short
    for symmetric digital subscriber line, a
    technology that allows more data to be
    sent over existing copper telephone lines
    (POTS). SDSL supports data rates up to 3
    Mbps. SDSL works by sending digital pulses
    in the high-frequency area of telephone
    wires and can not operate simultaneously
    with voice connections over the same
    wires. SDSL requires a special SDSL
    modem. SDSL is called symmetric because
    it supports the same data rates for
    upstream and downstream traffic.
    VDSL
     Very High DSL (VDSL) is a DSL
    technology that offers fast data rates
    over relatively short distances — the
    shorter the distance, the faster the
    connection rate.
     All types of DSL technologies are
    collectively referred to as xDSL.
     xDSL connection speeds range from
    128 Kbps to 8 Mbps.
    Cable
     Through the use of a cable modem you can have a
    broadband Internet connection that is designed to
    operate over cable TV lines. Cable Internet works by
    using TV channel space for data transmission, with
    certain channels used for downstream transmission,
    and other channels for upstream transmission.
    Because the coaxial cable used by cable TV provides
    much greater bandwidth than telephone lines, a cable
    modem can be used to achieve extremely fast access.
     Cable speeds range from 512 Kbps to 20 Mbps.
    Wireless Internet Connections
     Wireless Internet, or wireless broadband is one of the
    newest Internet connection types. Instead of using
    telephone or cable networks for your Internet
    connection, you use radio frequency bands. Wireless
    Internet provides an always-on connection which can
    be accessed from anywhere — as long as you
    geographically within a network coverage area.
    Wireless access is still considered to be relatively new,
    and it may be difficult to find a wireless service
    provider in some areas. It is typically more expensive
    and mainly available in metropolitan areas.
