• Fiber-optic, satellite, and ISDN

• Wireless, broadband, and dial-up

• DSL, cable, and Bluetooth

• Infrared, WiMax, and LTE

Which of the following is an advantage of wireless connections?

• They offer the highest security for data transmission.

• They require physical cables for connectivity.

• They allow internet access wherever a wireless connection is available.

• They are the most cost-effective method of internet connectivity.

What is a disadvantage of broadband connections compared to wireless and dial-up connections?

• It is less secure.

• It has a slower connection speed.

• It is limited by the length of the network cable.

• It has worse reception.

Which type of connection uses existing telephone lines and is available in places where broadband may not be?

• Wireless connections

• Broadband connections

• Dial-up connections

• Satellite connections

What is one of the advantages of broadband connections over wireless and dial-up connections?

What is the measure of the maximum capacity of a network called?

• Transmission rate

• Data transfer rate

• Bandwidth

• Data capacity

What does the transmission rate refer to?

• The maximum speed your connection could theoretically run at

• The actual amount of data that has been transferred across the network in a specified period of time

• The maximum amount of data that can be received

• The speed at which data is processed by your computer

Can the transmission rate exceed the actual bandwidth of an internet connection?

• Yes, it can exceed the bandwidth due to improved technology

• No, it can never exceed the bandwidth but can be less due to other factors

• Yes, it can exceed the bandwidth during off-peak hours

• No, it is always equal to the bandwidth
