What is one thing that the global pandemic threw into sharp relief? Simply put, the need for reliable internet access across all income levels and geographic locations. We’ve treated something that’s become a utility like it’s a privilege for too long now. And in many cases, whether you have internet access at all, or what type of connection you have, depends on where you live.

What are the different internet connection types available to consumers today? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each? Here’s what you need to know.

Dial-Up: Almost Extinct Now, Sometimes the Only Option

Doubtless, every child of the 1990s remembers the phone screeching from the depths of the abyss. That, and a parent’s insistence that they get off the internet because they need to make a phone call. Dial-up is one of the few internet connection types that could be considered extinct. However, in some rural or off-grid areas, it could be the only available choice.

DSL: A Step Above Dial-Up, But Not the Greatest Option

DSL connections are a step above dial-up in terms of speed and reliability. However, they do at least allow subscribers to browse the internet and place a phone call at the same time. It lags in speed compared to cable internet but has a lower price point than satellite. This makes it the best internet provider for rural consumers that can’t get fiber-optic or afford satellite.

Cable Internet: The Standard High-Speed Connection

If you’re looking for the standard example of high-speed internet, a cable connection is your go-to. Cable internet often gets bundled with phone and home TV packages, making them one of the most popular types of internet connections. While it’s not the fastest, it offers much higher speeds than most other options.

Satellite Internet: Often, Rural Internet’s Sole Connection

No one uses satellite internet unless they absolutely have to. It’s expensive to set up, utterly unreliable, and subject to frequent lags and outages. Due to the expense of running cables and fiber out to distant, rural areas, satellite internet could be a country dweller’s only option.

Fiber-Optic Internet: The Undisputed King

Look for information on the different internet connection types available today. We have no doubt that you’ll see fiber-optic atop every list.

With good reason! It is the fastest and most reliable type of internet connection. You can reach out through most mainstream providers, as well as smaller companies like Connectnw.net/windstream to get reliable, speedy fiber-optic connections today.

Let’s Review the Different Internet Connection Types

There are many different internet connection types available to consumers today. From the nearly-extinct dial-up and DSL to the speedier cable and fiber-optic, you can find a variety of ways to get connected. Which choices are available to you will depend on your location and your income level.

However, if you can spare the cash, high-speed internet can provide you with easier access to the wider world. If you found this article helpful and would like to read more like it, check out our blog for more Tech articles like this one!
