    What is Difference between DIAL UP and DSL connection

    Difference between DIAL UP and DSL connection

    Dialup

    1. Occupy a phone line
      Phone line is used for either voice service or internet connection
    2. Limited speeds of up to 56.6 Kbps made available through a telephone network and modem.
    3. Have to dial an access number to connect to the internet.
    4. Limited speed restricts download time. Exposed cables results in the possibility of damage.
    5. Unique IP address for each connection
    6. Chances of connectivity during peak hours is remote, Drawbacks include disconnections, repeated dialing and blocked telephone lines.


    DSL
    1. DSL Phone line is not affected by internet connection
      Simultaneous transmission of data (DSL) and voice or fax services.
    2. Hi-Speed Internet: Speed of up to 2 Mbps.
    3. Always on
    4. Download is up to 10 times faster. Underground cables eliminate damage.
    5. Static IP address (higher security risk)
    6. Available when you need it. Easy to use, no dialing, no disconnections. Single-click connectivity, always online.

    About Dial up connection it's easy to setup, no setup fee but in case of DSL Connection Self installation is usually free. A setup fee is needed if installed by a technician.

    There's a big difference between DSL and dial-up connection. It took me 1 hour to install yahoo messenger using a dial-up connection while in the office it only took me 6 minutes to complete the installation.
