Question

Answer 1

Hi...the answer is absolutely yes.

There are a few other forms of "Broadband"...

There is microwave, that is special, and only offered in certain areas...but is usually cheaper than regular broadband and has little to no weakness and is not quite as fast as DSL or CABLE...

There is Cable, that is internet service offered by your Cable TV provider. This is technically the fastest (aside from T1 or T3)...but it gets knocked down a bit as people get online in your subnet. So you will notice that performance is not as great when all the kids get home from school, or when most folks get home from work. But then in the wee hours of the morning and early in the day it screams!

Then there is Satellite Internet access...Primarily you will find this is very fast, not as fast as DSL or Cable but much faster than dialup...close to lower DSL speeds. But its getting better month by month. DirectTV offers this service by their parent company Hughes...

Then there is the very expensive Cellular connection access to the internet. You can purchase a card that plugs into your Laptop, or your desktop with an adapter (some companies may have a desktop version that connects either via USB or installs in your computer). The card is bound to a service provider...such as Cingular, or Verizon, or many other cell service providers. So who's ever card you buy is who you have to get the service through. Go to the various cellular providers websites and look for mobile internet service.


And last but not least, the best service out there is FiberOptic service such as Verizon's FIOS... But its only offered in certain areas. You can go to their website to find out if its available in your area.

All forms of DSL require that you have telephone lines to your home or apartment. I dont think they require you to have service...but I am not sure.

Hope you find something...

Answer 2

If you do not have (or want) a telephone line then you may only connect to the internet by using a mobile phone or, if you have a bit of dosh to spare, you can possibly go the satellite route. To be honest I've only ever seen satellite phones and I'm not sure if even they can decode internet signals.
Some answerers have suggested cable, dont forget even cable is a telephone line! it may be fibre optic but it's still a hard wired telephone line!

Answer 3

Yes. You can connect via a wireless network (though this may use a phone line depending on how you do it), you can connect via cable through the cable company (though some phone companies are getting into this too) and you can also connect via a satellite connection. The satellite connection will probably cost the most to set up and will probably also cost the most per month.

Answer 4

Hi. Yes it can be done. Get something like a vodafone 3g card which works around broadband speed and If you have a laptop it can be used anywhere. If you have a pc there is a wireless router that the card can be plugged into. The 3g card s are usually only on contract. But I can get them on pay as you go.

Answer 5

Yes, You can also get a broadband connection from a cable company or even some satalite providers.

Answer 6

Yes, there are ways of getting broadband through the phone line.
The best solution I know of is checking if you are in a cable enabled area, where broadband can travel (Virgin Media, formerly NTL and Telewest)

Answer 7

YES.... Just sign up with Virgin Media who run the signals through CABLE and not telephone lines like all others

Answer 8

yes but not cheaply - look for satellite connections and a gsm card thing (connects you to the cell phone network)

Answer 9

I have mine by the cable company

Answer 10
