Methods of Connection to the Internet

1. One method connecting to the Internet is through your local telephone company with dial-up connection. Some advantages are that it can be used were ever you have a telephone connection or line. It also is very inexpensive. Some disadvantages are that the connection is very slow. Anytime someone is using the phone you can't use the Internet. It will kick you off after long times on the connection. This connection would best be for someone who lives way out in the middle of nowhere or someone that does not having many choices of ISP's.

2. Another type of ISP that someone could consider is cable. Some advantages are that the connection is typically fast, unless all your neighbors are on the Internet. It is faster with downloads and uploads. It's direct connect so your always connected to Internet, so can get on whenever you want. Some disadvantages are that it is typically is more expensive then a lot of other providers. Can only get the ISP were you can get cable for your TV. I would say being direct connect has its disadvantages too because you more prone to attacks over the Internet with hackers and whatnot. People that are more located in a urban area would be more prone to this ISP.
