That depends on where you live and what type of services are available in your area. In most cases, cable broadband is faster than DSL (provided by the telephone company); however, in some cities your telephone company may offer a fiber-optics network, which is currently around 6-10 times faster than the fastest cable connections. If you live in a rural area, chances are fiber optics won’t be an option, so you will need to see what is offered by both your local cable and phone companies; and if neither of those are available, you can also consider satellite Internet. Given the increasing speed of mobile data networks, your cell phone carrier may also offer a reliable solution, though they are often more limiting in terms of data allowances.
