Internet service providers offer DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) internet access. DSL connects users to the ISP through a phone line, without the need of installing new wiring and cables. DSL allows users to use one phone line to connect to the internet and talk on the phone simultaneously. This is possible due to the DSL technology, which splits frequencies of a phone line into two bands of high and low frequencies. DSL delivers faster speeds than dial up internet access. DSL internet infrastructure and hardware includes a phone line, phone line splitter, phone line filter, DSL modem, and Ethernet cable to connect to the computer. Prices for DSL internet services are competitive and may include other fees for installation and equipment. DSL internet speeds depend on the distance between a user and the ISP office, with the closest distance providing faster speeds and farther distance providing slower speeds. There is also a distance limit for DSL delivery, and if a user is too far away from the ISP the service cannot be delivered. The technology that delivers internet service is technically called ADSL (Asymmetric DSL.)

Cable modems deliver high speed internet through an established cable television service
(exclusively from the cable company.) Cable internet infrastructure and hardware includes coaxial or fiber optic cables, cable line splitters, cable modems and router, and ethernet cables to connect to the computer. A Cable line can be split, allowing separate connections to the a computer and a television. A user can watch cable television and use cable internet all coming from a single cable line. Inquiries from local cable companies can be made about cable internet service, which are available at competitive prices and sometimes within bundled multi-service packages and deep discounts. Cable internet service is very reliable and is rarely affected by external factors. The use of cable wires and fiber optics means that there are no distance limits for the service delivery and very low losses of signal strength if any.
