Can a person get Internet access without a phone line?

It is possible to get Internet access without a phone line by using a broadband service. Broadband service transmits digitally as bits of data.

A dial-up Internet connection uses the phone line and makes it impossible to make calls while on the Web. With broadband service, it leverages electrical wire or coaxial cable to send data via the Web.

Other advantages of broadband include enabling people to access services like telemedicine in rural areas and enhancing the overall Web experience. Because speeds are much faster, it makes it easier to shop and access the Web as well as stream videos and music.
