About this factor
Publisher's description
Provision of fixed Internet access and transport services by a telecommunications service provider to a provider of fixed retail Internet access services. Provision of fixed connections to the Internet to end users at download speeds not exceeding 64 Kbps. Dial-up Internet access is one of the oldest forms of Internet access technology. It is also referred to as low or narrowband speed Internet access. Narrowband is generally regarded as a category including any connection with a transmission or download speed of up to 1.5 Mbps. Provision of fixed connections to the Internet to residential end users at download speeds generally greater than 256 Kbps. High-speed Internet is also referred to as broadband Internet, with fixed line types such as cable, digital subscriber line (DSL), terrestrial wireless access, direct-to-home satellite access, and fibre optic services. Even though the lowest speed limit for high-speed Internet is set to 256 Kbps in several countries, broadband is generally regarded as a category including any connection with a transmission or download speed of 1.5 Mbps or greater. Connection with download speed from 256 Kbps up to 1.5 Mbps is sometimes referred to as "wideband" or "lite broadband". Provision of fixed connections to the Internet to non-residential or business end users at download speeds greater than 256 Kbps.
