Which of the following is NOT a type of broadband internet connection?
Correct answer: C. Dial-up
- A. Satellite
- B. DSL (Digital Subscriber Line
- C. Dial-up
- D. Cable
Explanation
Dial-up is a type of internet connection that uses your phone line to connect to the internet. When you connect using dial-up, your computer dials a phone number to connect to an internet service provider (ISP). This connection occupies your phone line, so you cannot use your phone and the internet at the same time. Dial-up internet is also much slower than other broadband internet connection types. In essence, dial-up is a slower and older technology that is not classified as broadband internet, while the other options (Satellite, DSL, and Cable) are all considered broadband connection types
