What is Broadband?

The term "broadband" describes a two-way digital service that can move data at speeds of up to 100Mbps (100,000Kbps)+ compared to conventional phone lines. (transmits at least 100Mbps (100,000Kbps)+ in at least one direction).

By contrast, an ordinary dial-up modem which currently handles 28.8 or 56Kbps is considered a narrowband device. While narrowband is generally adequate for downloading still images and text, data-rich applications such as voice, music or video streaming require broadband connections.
