to selected areas. Requires installation of DSL modem on your computer

local hub also affects your speed. You will pay 2 to 3 times the costs
of basic dial up.

wireless, or satellite internet connections. Technically broadband
is a minimum of 1.5Mbs but is used to market products with bandwidth
as low as 512k. When you hear the term broadband used, think like
"health food", an undefined marketing catch word.
Wireless internet
connection - This option is available in limited area's and requires
a wireless modem on your computer. Speeds typically are 2Mbps and
this is a flexible approach as you do not need to be hardwired or
plugged in. Available in many metro area's.

alternative, but you can get service basically anywhere in the world.
