                      WAYS TO CONNECT TO THE INTERNET

                  To connect your computer to the Internet, you need an Internet connection. There
                  are numerous ways to connect your computer to the Internet. Some of the most
                  widely used ways are:

                  Dial-up

                  Dial-up requires users to link standard telephone line to a computer in order to
                  access the Internet. It doesn’t allow users to make or receive phone calls through
                  phone service while using the Internet. To use dial-up, you need: a computer with
                  a modem, a telephone line, and software provided by your ISP.

                  Broadband Connection

                  Broadband is provided through either cable or telephone companies. It is a high-
                  speed Internet connection. You can share a large amount of data. It is significantly
                  faster than a dial-up connection and you can make or receive phone calls while using

                  internet. A broadband connection provides Internet access only through cable.
                  Another benefit of using a broadband connection is that more than one user can
                  use it at the same time.

                  Wi-Fi

                  Wi-Fi is  wireless networking  technology  that uses  radio
                  waves to connect  to the Internet.  Wireless connections
                  are possible through the modem, which picks up Internet
                  signals and sends them to computers.

                  Wi-Fi  doesn’t require cable to provide  Internet  access. The main advantage  of
                  wireless is the  “always on”  connection  that  can  be  accessed from any  location
                  under network coverage.
