Alright, there are four different types of Internet provided to you by your ISP:
Dial Up is using a phone line and calling a certain number to get internet access. Speeds would typically be up to 56 KB/s. and ping latency very high.
DSL is using a phone line at the same time, but connecting the phone cord to a special modem to gain internet. Speeds are typically 1-13 Mbps download.
Broadband is where you connect your modem with a cable that you would usually use to connect to a TV via wall. Speeds are typically 1-500 Mbps download.
Really doubt you have fiber network, so I wouldn't explain what it is. My guess is you use DSL with that slow speed.
