Answer✔✔-DSL: High Bandwidth connection that runs over telephone line.
Dialup Telephone: Typically has very low bandwidth

Explanation:
DSL is an always-on, high bandwidth connection that runs over telephone lines. Cable uses the same
coaxial cable that carries television signals into the home to provide Internet access. Dialup telephone is
much slower than either DSL or cable, but is the least expensive option for home users because it can
use any telephone line and a simple modem. Satellite requires a clear line of sight and is affected by
trees and other obstructions. None of these typical home options use dedicated leased lines such as
T1/E1 and T3/E3
