How do DSL, Cable, and Fiber Optic Broadband compare in terms of speed and reliability?
- DSL Broadband: Uses telephone lines, with speeds ranging from a few Mbps to around 100 Mbps. Ideal for basic internet usage, particularly in rural areas.
- Cable Broadband: Utilizes coaxial cables like those used for cable TV, offering higher speeds than DSL. Suitable for streaming and online gaming.
- Fiber Optic Broadband: Employs fibers transmitting data via light, significantly faster and more reliable than DSL or cable. Best for bandwidth-intensive activities.
