Q

Ralph is an employee of a company that offers the option to telecommute from home. As a telecommuting employee, he needs to connect to the company network to access client information, transfer files, and send email through a Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection. Ralph is investigating the different Wide Area Network (WAN) services available for the remote connection before he implements one. His home is over 30 years old; the existing telephone wiring was not run through conduit, and the wiring seems to be deteriorating. Ralph has cable television (CATV) service, and his home is also approximately 20,000 feet from the nearest telephone central office. He wants to implement the fastest remote connection service possible, but cost is a factor in the decision. Which WAN technology should Ralph implement?
A DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) connection
A dedicated leased line (fractional T-1)
A standard modem-to-modem connection
A broadband CATV connection

Q

You have recently started a new job that enables you to telecommute from home, and you need a Wide Area Network (WAN) connection to the Internet. You will need to access the company network using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection to obtain client information, transfer files, and send email through the company servers. Your home is over 30 years old. The existing telephone wiring was not run through a conduit, and it seems to be deteriorating. You have cable television service, and your home is approximately 20,000 feet from the nearest telephone central office. You want to implement the fastest possible remote connection service, but cost is still a factor in the decision. Which WAN technology should you implement?
