Abstract
A high-speed access network is essential for broadband Internet service. The access network is known as the “last mile” and up to now telephone line has been used. Broadband technology that can use the access network include ADSL, CATV, FTTH (Fiber To The Home) and WLL (Wireless Local Loop). CATV has been in use for some time. ADSL is the broadband technology that is currently experiencing a rapid increase in popularity. It is thought that FTTH will become the favorite broadband service of the future. The use of WLL for Internet access is also expected to increase.
