Final Answer :
Dial-up = least desirable, won't be watching YouTube videos using it; can't use the phone when on the Internet DSL = don't have to share with others on the network so it is more secure and don't have slow down problems in the evenings; problems = harder to set-up Cable modem = inexpensive and easy to set-up but speeds vary and will slow down when many people are using it Satellite = like dial-up (not desirable), much slower than other options and have a download limit (one example website:"http://www.reviews.org/internet-service/best-satellite-internet-providers/" http: //www.reviews.org/Internet-service/best-satellite-Internet-providers/) Wireless = this generally applies to use on smartphones (all students will probably mention this), but this isn't typically considered a viable solution for main use in the home (currently under experimentation by Google according to IT's About Business 6.2 and "https://www.wired.com/2017/02/google-fiber-restructure/" https: //www.wired.com/2017/02/google-fiber-restructure/) FTTH = extremely fast service offered by many companies now (not just new housing developments as mentioned in the text) and not necessarily that expensive but it is limited by location
