Many providers offer High Speed Connections for Internet access. Many people in the US use the Internet from home connecting through a "dial-up connection" using a modem over a regular telephone line. Fortunately, many Internet Service Providers (ISPs) offer Hi-Speed Connections also known as broadband access - usually through a DSL connection (a digital subscriber line) or a cable modem.

The higher Bandwidth and faster connections greatly improve internet interactions and collaborations in teaching and research, hotels, cluster and grid computing, operating systems, distributed system structures, file systems and security, network measurement tools, and authentication. Broadband Connections provide maximum speed and sharing capabilities.

Hi-speed connections cost more than a dial-up connection, but an increasing number of consumers choose it because:

Faster than a dial-up connection
Reduces the time you spend waiting for web pages to load
Lets you work faster
Connect your computer to the Internet with no dialing and no busy signals
Make and receive voice calls over your phone line while you're connected to the Internet

DSL technology can handle data and voice on a single phone line at the same time and cable technology uses a separate wire from the telephone.
