The main difference between a dial up and broadband interent connection is on the basis of its speed - as we all know dial up is slower than broadband - If u are having broadband connection then it will not be a problem for u to make calls using the same phone connection whereas in the case of dial up you can use only one at a time - ie , either the phone or the internet !! hope it answered your question

hai friend sathya, i read your question. the diffrence is dialup can work only when you made a dial and its tariff is very low. but in broadband is different from the dialup. no need to dial. you always online and it has very large bandwith to transfer the data. very fast when compared to dialup.

dial up is much slower than broadband. dial up access is thru telephone line while broadband has many ways to connect.... telephone, cable, wireless, optical fibre...etc. broadband uses a larger bandwidth than dial up. wish i could show it to you diagramatically. ok... in words.... it uses more space in the copper wire .. so more data transfer speed..... in a telephone wire, very little space is used for voice transfer... the same space is used for data transfer also in case of dial up... that's the reason we cannot talk on the phone when connected to the internet... but in broadband, both these are different... the bandwidth used for voice and data are different... so you have a higher bandwidth for data.... and we can talk on the phone while connected to the internet....

The most simple and practical answer would be that you should install both Dial-up and Broadband .. use them one at a time on a computer and you will know all the differences. You will not only know all the differences but you will have a first hand experience and then describe it !

there is a lot of diff actually there is no similarities. broadband has a 100 times more speed than dial up.

The fundamental difference between dialup and broadband Internet connections is the manner in which the connection is made from your PC to the Internet. A dialup service connects to the Internet through your phone line. The modem in your PC "calls" an Internet Service Provider (ISP) and connects with a maximum speed of 56,000 bytes per second, better known as a 56K speed connection. Each time your PC dials into the ISP, it is assigned an Internet Protocol (IP) address, which you can think of as an "Internet address." A different, unique IP address is assigned at the beginning of each visit so that the ISP can recognize your PC and make sure you can send and receive email, surf the Internet, and so on; basically, this address lets your ISP know where to send the information you are requesting through your modem. In terms of hackers, in order for someone to gain access to your computer, it would be necessary for them to know your IP to successfully do so. The fact that your IP address constantly changes essentially makes your Internet connection more secure. In contrast, when you connect to the Internet via a broadband Internet connection, the process is slightly different. Once your PC is connected to the ISP through a cable or DSL connection, it remains connected until the cable box or DSL line is disconnected or physically unplugged. A DSL connection runs through unused wires in your existing phone line without disruption and can translate data at 5 million bytes per second, or 5Mbps. Broadband services are often referred to as "always on" services because it is not necessary to make a setup call to your ISP each time you wish to access the Internet; this means that once you are assigned an IP address, you keep it until you request it to be changed. We'll learn how to do this in a later newsletter. Connection speed and price are two important considerations when choosing between dialup and broadband. Dialup connection speeds make it more difficult to view cer
