Broadband Internet access was first introduced to household users in the form of ADSL, or asymmetric digital subscriber line, in the late 1990s.

As the name suggests, ADSL is an asymmetric means of providing Internet access.

The asymmetry has to do with the download and upload speeds: while the download speeds typically range from 256 kbps to 24 Mbps, the upload speeds are much lower.

With ADSL, a user will most likely see download speeds of anywhere from 1 Mbps to 12 Mbps. Upload speeds, however, will be significantly slower, rarely going above 1 Mbps.

The reason for this discrepancy is the nature of the copper lines that make up the majority of the physical infrastructure for telecommunications.

Multiple ADSL connections can be ran into the same location to increase total speeds.

The cellular network is a type of network that covers a large geographical area and provides coverage over the entire region with a small number of base stations.

This is one of the most popular networks used today and is highly reliable. Cellular networks are used for mobile phone services and are usually very expensive.

However, it is considered to be the most suitable for providing telecommunication services to a large number of people.
