Match each characteristic to its corresponding Internet connectivity type. (Not all options are
used.)
DSL: High Bandwidth connection that runs over telephone line.
Dialup Telephone: Typically has very low bandwidth
Satellite: Not suited for heavily wooded areas.
Cable: Uses coaxial cable as medium
Explanation:
DSL is an always-on, high bandwidth connection that runs over telephone lines. Cable uses the
same coaxial cable that carries television signals into the home to provide Internet access.
Dialup telephone is much slower than either DSL or cable, but is the least expensive option for
home users because it can use any telephone line and a simple modem. Satellite requires a
clear line of sight and is affected by trees and other obstructions. None of these typical home
options use dedicated leased lines such as T1/E1 and T3/E3
