To most, broadband is the common term for a very fast and reliable connection to the Internet. It allows users to download online entertainment such as video clips and music, listen to digital radio, send e-mail faster and speeds up everything they do online.
A broadband service can transmit information at up to 40 times the speed of a dial-up modem connection. As the connection is always on, users don’t need to dial up every time they want to log on.
