home internet

House network connection

Home internet is the broadband connection that brings online access to a residence, as opposed to mobile data or workplace networks.

The term distinguishes residential service from other ways of getting online: Our home internet is down, so I'm using my phone as a hotspot.

Providers offer home internet through cable, fiber, DSL, or satellite connections.
