Which one is better??Which one is better??

DSL accesses the Internet

through telephone line, similar to Dial-up access.

Cable access is 3 times faster than

DSL and more than 50 times faster than Dial-up.

You make the

decision…

Dial- up is the cheapest of the three. DSL and

Cable have to be installed. The monthly payments are

more money also.

Cable does not use the telephone line, but may be hard to receive a solid connection.
