Explanation

Both DSL and Dial-up transmit data using analog signals over the traditional PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) copper phone lines. Dial-up uses a modem to modulate/demodulate analog signals at low frequencies. DSL also uses analog modulation techniques (e.g., DMT) across the same copper telephone infrastructure, just at higher frequencies to achieve broadband speeds. ISDN is a fully digital telephone service. WiMAX and Satellite are digital wireless technologies that do not use analog phone line transmission.
