In the most basic sense:
LAN = Local Area Network (what you would have in an office)
LAN (Local Area Network) is a computer network covering a small geographic area, like a home, office, school, or group of buildings.
it's high speed (1000 mbps)
WAN = Wide Area Network (what links offices together)
WAN (Wide Area Network) is a computer network that covers a broad area (e.g., any network whose communications links cross metropolitan, regional, or national boundaries over a long distance).
It's Less speed 150 mbps
Lan is better for connecting in local area business where as Wan is better to connect is world wide business.
In my view WANOS is a best WAN service provider & also with an affordable price.

WAN. LAN is a short range connection, WAN is wide range.

It depends on the media, topology of the networks. You could go from 10 Mbps on a LAN to 50 or more Gbps on a WAN depending on the technology.
absolutely wan. lan is used for a office or a building complex
LAN users get access to internet or can communicate with others LAN connected to WAN.
An LAN card is a must if you wish to connect to a LAN but it is not required for WAN
WAN requires the same technology as LAN.
Extranet is wan
