DIAL-UP AND BROADBAND

CONNECTION
TEAM 1-DIGIT
•Dial-up and broadband are two different types
of internet connections that differ in their
speed, technology, and availability.
• Slow, typically up to 56 kilobits per
DIAL-UP
second (kbps). This is equivalent to CONNECTION:
downloading a small song in
several minutes.
• Uses a modem to convert digital
data into analog signals that travel
over telephone lines.
• Widely available but becoming less
common due to its slow speed.
• Much faster than dial-up, ranging from
megabits per second (Mbps) to gigabits BROADBAND
per second (Gbps). This allows for CONNECTION:
downloading large files, streaming
videos, and playing online games without
significant lag.
• Uses various technologies like cable,
fiber optic, satellite, or wireless networks
to transmit data.
• Becoming increasingly available,
although coverage may vary depending
on location.
