Broadband
Broadband refers to telecommunication in which a wide band of frequencies is available to transmit information. Because a wide band of frequencies is available, information can be multiplexed and sent on many different frequencies or channels within the band concurrently, allowing more information to be transmitted in a given amount of time (more lanes on a highway allow more cars to travel on it at the same time). Related terms are wideband, baseband (a one-channel band), and narrowband (sometimes meaning just wide enough to carry voice, or simply "not broadband," and sometimes meaning specifically between 50 cps and 64 Kpbs)

Benefits of Broadband

  • High speed internet access up to 10 times faster than a normal 56k modem. This enabling much faster downloading which means web pages appear almost instantly. It is great for watching movie/video clips and downloading MP3 music and also lets you send and receive large email attachments with ease.
  • Permanent connection. Once your logged on with a broadband service the computer is online until the computer is turned off again. To log on you simply open your web browser - similarly, if you open your email application you will connect to the internet automatically and stay connected until you shut the computer down.
     
  • Broadband enables both telephone calls and your permanent internet connection to operate on the same phone line simultaneously. This means that there is no longer any need for any users to have two lines - one for internet and one for voice and fax calls.

Internet Service Provider
