WAYS TO CONNECT TO THE INTERNET


                  To connect to the Internet, you need an Internet connection. There are several ways
                  to connect your computer to the Internet. Some of the most common methods are
                  dial-up, broadband, Wi-Fi, etc.

                  Dial-up

                  Dial-up means connecting your phone line to your computer to access the Internet.
                  While you are using the Internet with dial-up connection, you cannot make or

                  receive phone calls.
                  Broadband Connection

                  Broadband is a high-speed Internet service provided by various companies through

                  various transmission medium including cable, phone, and fiber-optic providers. It
                  allows for high data transfer rates and is much faster than dial-up connections.
                  Unlike a dial-up connection, broadband offers the flexibility to use the Internet and
                  make phone calls at the same time.

                  Wi-Fi

                  Wi-Fi  (Wireless  Fidelity)  uses  radio  waves  to
                  connect to the Internet. Wi-Fi uses a Wi-Fi router

                  or Wi-Fi modem to provide wireless connectivity
                  to access Internet.
                  Wi-Fi  doesn’t  require  cables  to  connect  to  the

                  Internet.  The  main  advantage  of  Wi-Fi  is  that
                  it’s always on and you can use the Internet from
                  anywhere within the network’s coverage area.
