CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1001) — Question 116

A small office in a remote area is considering a new ISP.
Which of the following broadband types is based on the distance to the nearest central office?

Answer options

• A. Satellite
• B. Fiber
• C. Cable
• D. DSL

Correct answer: D

Explanation

DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) technology relies on the distance from the user's location to the nearest central office, impacting its speed and performance. In contrast, Satellite, Fiber, and Cable broadband do not have this limitation, as they are not dependent on proximity to a central office for connectivity.
