20+ practice questions focused on Internet Connection Types — one of the most tested topics on the CompTIA A+ Core 1 220-1201 exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation so you learn why the right answer is correct.
Start Internet Connection Types PracticeA small office is moving to a new location and needs a dedicated, symmetrical internet connection with a guaranteed service level agreement (SLA). Which type of internet connection should be installed?
Explanation: Fiber optic internet provides symmetrical speeds (same upload and download) and can offer SLAs, making it ideal for business needs. Cable and DSL typically have asymmetrical speeds and no SLA, while satellite has high latency and is not suitable for business-critical applications.
A customer is moving into a new apartment building that has a fiber optic terminal in the basement. They want the fastest possible internet. What equipment will the technician need to install inside the apartment to complete the connection?
Explanation: Fiber internet requires an Optical Network Terminal (ONT) to convert the optical signal to electrical signals for use by a router. A cable modem is for coax, a DSL modem is for phone lines, and a satellite modem is for satellite dishes.
A customer reports that their internet connection drops frequently during rainstorms. They have a cable modem and a wireless router. What is the most likely cause of the intermittent connection?
Explanation: Cable internet uses coaxial cables that can be susceptible to signal degradation when water enters the line, especially at connectors or splices. This is a common issue during rainstorms. DSL, fiber, and satellite are less affected by rain in this specific way, though satellite can have rain fade.
A technician is configuring a new SOHO router for a client who has a DSL internet connection. What type of cable will the technician use to connect the router to the wall jack?
Explanation: DSL uses standard telephone cables (RJ-11) to connect to the wall jack. Coaxial (RG-6) is for cable, fiber uses a specialized connector, and Ethernet (RJ-45) is used for LAN connections or some fiber modems.
A user complains that their internet is slow in the evenings, especially when streaming video. They have a cable modem and a wireless router. What is the most likely cause?
Explanation: Cable internet uses a shared bandwidth model where many users in the same neighborhood contend for the same local loop capacity. During peak usage times (evenings), this contention leads to slower speeds. Wireless interference, router age, or ISP throttling are less likely to cause consistent evening slowdowns.
