[QUOTE="MShaffer, post: 609281, member: 7862"] Broadband in general means high-speed internet. It can be DLS, Cable or wireless. DSL is broadband that uses telephone lines. DSL has distance limitations. You have to relatively close to a switching station or central office. Wireless is broadband where you communicate from an antenna at your house to a local antenna tower. Similar to cell phones but it does not have the distance like a cell phone. With our local provider, you have to be within 6 miles of a tower. This signal has trouble going through trees and hills. If you have a clear line of site to the tower, you will have better service. Satellite will be slower then DSL and wireless. It simply takes more time to send the signal to the satellite and then back to the ground at the provider’s location. It will be much faster then dial-up. Reliability will depend on the weather at your place and the weather at the provider’s location. It may be sunny and 70 at your place, but if the provider is located in the Northeast and they are downloading the signal through a heavy rain storm, it will affect your speed and service. I have satellite service because it is the only service I can get besides dial-up. When wireless or DSL or cable finally gets to my area, I will switch. [/QUOTE]
