Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Because Jack needs high speed ata reasonable price, and his place is at least 7 km from the central office, Cable Internet is the best option.
Key Takeaway: Dial-up is too slow and Satellite Internet is too expensive. Furthermore, Satellite Internet is slower due to round trip delay issues. Since Jack is 7 km away from the central DSL office, he cannot opt for a DSL connection (maximum allowed is 5 km). Hence, he could go for a cable connection.
