Which of the following is an internet connection option?

Dial-up, DSL and broadband are all genuine ways of connecting to the internet, covering every item named here.

A dial-up connection uses a modem over an ordinary phone line at low speed.

A digital subscriber line carries faster data over the same copper phone wires without blocking calls.

Broadband is a general high-speed always-on connection covering cable, fibre and more.

They differ mainly in speed, cost and whether the line stays permanently connected.

Broadband has now largely replaced the slow dial-up of the early internet.
