WiMAX:
WiMAX, the Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, is a telecommunications technology that provides wireless data in a variety of ways, from point-to-point links to full mobile cellular type access. It is based on the IEEE 802.16 standard, which is also called WirelessMAN. The name "WiMAX" was created by the WiMAX Forum, which was formed in June 2001 to promote conformance and interoperability of the standard.
wifi
The purpose of Wi-Fi is to provide inter-operable wireless access between devices. Wi-Fi generally makes access to information between devices from many different manufacturers easier, as it can eliminate some of the physical restraints of wiring which can be especially true for mobile devices. A Wi-Fi enabled device such as a PC, game console, mobile phone, MP3 player or PDA can connect to the Internet when within range of a wireless network connected to the Internet.
Cable
Cable Internet is a form of broadband Internet access that uses the cable television infrastructure. Like digital subscriber lines and fiber optic networks, cable Internet bridges the last kilometre or mile from the Internet provider to the subscriber.
Adsl
ADSL stands for Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber Line - it is the transmission technique used on the line from your modem to your service provider.
Asymmetrical:
The speed of transmission is not the same in both directions. The downstream (from network to consumer) speed can be more than ten times as fast as upstream (from consumer to network). This coincides nicely with the requirements for Internet access where a single mouse click (therefore a small amount of data sent by the consumer) can result in the receipt of a large amount of data from the Internet.
