3. Broadband Technology Introduction 1. Broadband Technology A kind of wide-spread, high-speed Internet access 2. Broadband Connections Cable model, DSL (ADSL, SDSL), T1& ISDN, and Satellite

4. Broadband Technology Advantages of Dial-up modems: 1.Dial-up is cheap and everywhere a. cost free~$30 b. no distance limitation 2. An unwired PC is safer

6. Broadband Technology Disadvantages of Broadband Connections: 1.Broadband does not well spread 2.Security issues 3.Cost

7. Cable Modem Cable access is the most widely available and most commonly used broadband technology in U.S. Cable Web access is faster than dial-up and less complex to install than DSL Cable modems work via a 6-MHz channel slot with the cable signal to deliver burst download speeds of up to 5 Mbps.
