A SOHO user wants to set up a new internet connection. The location already has coaxial cable wiring from a previous cable television subscription. Which of the following internet connection types would BEST utilize this existing infrastructure?
Cable internet is the correct choice because it utilizes the same coaxial cable infrastructure (often called 'coax') that is also used for cable television services. This allows internet service providers to deliver broadband internet over existing physical lines. DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) uses existing telephone lines, Fiber optic internet requires its own dedicated fiber optic cables, and Satellite internet uses a satellite dish for connectivity, none of which use coaxial cabling for the final connection to the premises.
