Can someone please give me a short definition of Dial-up connection and Broadband?

Question

I've tried Wikipedia but nothing is coming up.

Any links would be helpful.
Thank you

Answer 1

Dial-Up Connection:

the POTs modem (v.42, v.90, v.92, etc.) dials out to the ISP where there are banks of ISDN modems. the modems handshake and depending on the line conditions, impairments (noise, jitter, etc.) and location on the local loop the modems will train and connect at the highest possible rate for the current line conditions. A DHCP server issues an IP address to the client and the IP connection is established.

FCC regulations limit 56K modems to the maximum connection rate of 53.3

DSL:

the DSL modem virtually "dials" out to the ISP where there are banks of DSLAM's (digital subscriber line access multiplexor) the modems handshake and determine the connection rate based on the current line conditions and location in the local loop. when the connection is established a DHCP server assigns an IP address to the client and the IP connection is established.

Cable:

cable modems use radio frequencies to communicate up/down the line. the cable modem is terminated at the head-end by the cable modem termination system.

Answer 2

Dial-up connection-
A network that can be accessed remotely via analog modems or ISDN.

max speed-56kbps

Broadband-

High-speed transmission. The term commonly refers to Internet access via cable and DSL, which is considerably faster than analog dial-up. Broadband always referred to a higher-speed connection, but the speed threshold has varied. Widely employed in companies, the 1.5 Mbps T1 line was often considered the starting point, while the FCC defines broadband as a minimum upload speed of 200 Kbps.
The T1 line is no longer the coveted connection for Web surfing. Home users with cable modems experience download speeds up to four times that of T1, and more

Answer 3

Dial up means every time you have to get yourself connected to the service provider through your telephone line and then they will connect you to the main server, whereas Broad band is a ready connection given by the service provider in your telephone line and you may access at any moment without refering to them.

Dial up is little slow whereas Broadband is fast.

Answer 4

Dial up is via regular phone line, where you first dial the Internet access number and is limited to about 57kbps.
Broadband is an always on, not dialed connection (via cable TV cable or dedicated line from the phone company - DSL) and with speeds up to presently 6mbps.

Answer 5

Dial phone slow broadband wireless signal like a radio fast

Answer 6

Answer 7
