what is the difference between dialup & broadband service?

Answer 1

Broadband is fast internet.Dial up is slow
In dial up u connect your telephone cable to get net, so get lots of telephone bills too. and cannot use telephone while browsing Broadband is cheaper and way too fast!!! and doesnt affect telephone usage. Broadband may or may not use your telephone network,bcoz u can have broadband usng cable tv's and other cables, but u can always make and recieve phone call even while u are surfing online.Dial up speed is mostly 56 kbps, while broadband has speed ranging from 256kbps, 512 kbps, 1 Mbps.......and much more

Answer 2

Broadband as marketing ppl put it is high-speed, very high in comparison to dialup, that is one primary difference.

The second difference is related to broadband as it is true to its technical meaning: Internet signal is piggy backed on original designed signal: phone or cable TV signal. While dialup occupies the phone line exclusively.

Although carriers dish out "Light" service that cut down that high speed dramatically, usually to the level of 2x the fastest dialup.

Small differences like what type of technology is used, but they are not universal and specific to the type of connection.

Answer 3

The difference is dialup you use your phone line to connect to the internet and broadband you use your cable company and broadband is much faster.

Answer 4

Dial-up access is a form of Internet access through which the client uses a modem connected to a computer and a telephone line to dial into an Internet service provider's (ISP). In short you will have to use your phone line to connect to the inter net.

Broadband in general electronics and telecommunications is a term which refers to a signal or circuit which includes or handles a relatively wide range of frequencies. Thus in short you can say that broadband is much faster than dail up.

Usually Broadband falls cheaper than dial up in the long run

Answer 5

Dialup modem uses your telephone where it dials to the ISP (Internet Service Provider) and connects you to the internet. The speed of transfer is VERY VERY SLOW compared to broadband.
And you can not use the phone while you are connected to the net

Broadband uses your phone. But does not dial. So you can use the phone simultaneously while browsing. And besides it is much much FASTER.

If you req access to the web frequently then broadband is for you or just to check mails, then dial up is best.
