'der Anschluss' and 'der Internetanschluss' can both mean a technical connection. 'Anschluss' is more general and can refer to electricity, water, telephone, or internet. 'Internetanschluss' is more specific: it is always about access to the internet, often also the contract for it. Learners may confuse the words because in everyday language people often just say 'Anschluss' when the context makes it clear that internet is meant. If it is not clear, 'Internetanschluss' is more precise.
