Difference Between Dialup and Broadband

Dial-up Internet uses a phone line to access the Internet. Your computer uses its modem to make a standard call to an Internet Service Provider, which then connects you to the World Wide Web. Dial-up has been the main way of accessing the Internet for a number of years, but as content has become more sophisticated, New Zealanders’ use of the Internet has advanced.
Current standard broadband offerings in New Zealand can have speeds of between six and 50 times faster than standard dial-up Internet (and this is increasing as technology advances).
Broadband is provided in a number of ways - over a phone line, by cable, wirelessly, or by satellite - depending on your location.
Many new types of enriched content will not work over dial-up. Or they will be of low quality or take a long time to download. Broadband is becoming a necessity for being online. As it becomes more affordable and its performance increases it will become the main way of accessing the Internet.
