58 - Internet and online security
Internet as the connection speed is low and connection time is 
typically charged per hour. 
DSL (e.g. ADSL)
DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) is an ‘always-on’ connection that runs 
over the phone line. As DSL and phone do not use the same 
frequencies, you can use your telephone at the same time you are 
connected to the Internet (this requires a ‘micro-filter’ on each 
telephone socket to avoid interference). To be eligible for DSL, you 
must be located near an DSL-equipped phone exchange (service is 
sometimes unavailable in rural areas). Connection speeds vary 
depending on your location, but DSL generally provides very fast and 
reliable Internet connection. As the connection is always-on, it is 
generally charged at fixed monthly rates.
Cable
A cable connection provides fast and always-on Internet service via a 
cable television line. This service is generally available in large cities. 
You can use your telephone and watch cable TV at the same time you 
are connected to the Internet. 
3G (WWAN or 'Wireless Wide-Area Network')
Network connections
A LAN (Local Area Network) is a group of computers (for example, 
within an office building or home) that share a common 
communications line and resources. When you set up a network, you 
can share files, peripheral devices (such as a printer) and an Internet 
connection. You can set up a LAN using wired technologies (such as 
Ethernet) or wireless technologies (such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth). 
Note
A DSL connection requires an appropriate modem. A modem is usually 
provided by the ISP when you register. Many of these modems include an 
‘router’ that provides network and Wi-Fi access.
