Wired vs. Wireless: Understanding the Major Types of Internet Connections
An internet connection links users to the web for browsing, streaming, or work tasks. Dial-up (early, slow option), DSL (phone line-based), cable internet (using TV cables), fiber-optic (lightning-fast), satellite (ideal for rural regions), Wi-Fi (wireless in homes and offices), and mobile broadband (4G/5G cellular networks) all provide varying levels of speed and coverage. Fiber-optic is the fastest, while satellite supports remote users effectively.
