A dialup modem won't work with broadband. Additionally, each type of broadband internet service may require a different type of interface device. The only common element is that you almost always need a LAN connection on your computer.

You may be able to use your existing cable or satellite modem if it is approved for the type of service you select and if it is approved by your service provider. However, you can not use a dial-up modem to receive high-speed Internet because the signals and the wiring required are different. You should contact your service provider to ask about whether or not you can continue to use your existing modem with their service. See similar questions...

Yes. You can use your Internet Service Provider's dial-up access to check email or surf the Internet if your high speed Internet connection goes down or when you're away from home. To use dial-up access, you need a computer with an analog modem (up to 56K) and a standard telephone line. Check with your Internet Service Provider for further details and pricing on dial-up access.
