Is broadband internet better than Dsl?

Question

I'm planning to establish an internet connection here at my work place. I wonder which is better among the two services. I'm also looking for a affordable price for internet service. Can I ask any opinion regarding broadband and Dsl

Answer 1

Dsl where I live is better of a connection than broadband. The broadband was slower, and I couldn't use it with my business.
The Dsl saves me money as well. That may differ from where you are. But the service of Broadband lacks, my oppinion.
Good luck.

Answer 2

DSL has come a long way in the past few years. Depending on your needs, providers may allow you to select the type of connection you need. The usage fees are directly related to the amount of bandwidth you want. In the past, DSL bandwidth was usually lower than Cable connections but most providers now offer several packages. (256Kb/second or 512Kb/second being the most common.) Both are fast but if you expect to be transferring large files, it may take longer to transfer those files than it would with a cable connection. Additionally, if you're into multiplayer gaming, First Person Shooters especially, you may experience more game lag than with a cable connection, but for surfing the net, chatting and email applications, either will work just fine. You didn't specify the bandwidth your connection provides, nor did you state what you're doing with your computer, so there's no way to say if switching to a cable connection would be worthwhile. Check out your internet provider's website for more information about the services and connections they provide. Head over to PC Pitstop to run an internet speed test to see where you're at. Poke around while you're there. You'll find a ton of useful info on how to make the most of your connection.

Answer 3

Broadband means a fast connection.

DSL is a fast connection; therefore, DSL is a broadband connection.

Cable is the other "common" individual broadband connection.

I would look at the pricing and compare the download and upload speeds between Cable and DSL. Make a judgment call as to which will be better for you and go for it.

Answer 4

iirc broadband=dsl. different companies just choose whether they'd use broadband or dsl for their service. i could be wrong though... but basically, the setup(hardware) is the same...

try asking someone with different providers for their service qualities.

you could also specify from the different speed packages they offer. faster means more expensive.
