Final answer:

The WAN technologies that use unshielded twisted pair (UTP) are ISDN, DSL modem, and POTS dial-up modem, because they transmit data through standard telephone lines, whereas cable modem uses coaxial cable.

Step-by-step explanation:

The WAN technologies that use unshielded twisted pair (UTP) are:

  • ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network)
  • DSL modem (Digital Subscriber Line)
  • POTS dial-up modem (Plain Old Telephone Service)

While ISDN and DSL notably use UTP cables for data and voice transmission, POTS dial-up modems also use UTP as the standard telephone lines, which can carry analog signals for voice and digital signals for data (when using a modem). Cable modem typically relies on coaxial cable, which is why it is not listed among the technologies that use UTP.
