What is Broadband?
Broadband (Broadband High Speed Internet) is the term used for a high bandwidth Internet connection, that a user uses to download or upload information to the web much faster than with a standard dial up modem. Broadband connections are *always on* just like your tap water, so you don't have to go to the trouble of dialing up and logging on every time you want to use the web. Broadband also free's up your telephone line, so you can still send or receive phone calls while online.
Broadband Providers now allow users to download and upload at speeds of up to 30mbps in some areas with verizons new fios network and most cable and dsl providers are offering very fast speeds today. This allows even the most complex and graphic rich web sites to download faster than ever.
Broadband is distributed in many ways. DSL phone line connections, Cable Broadband connections, One or two way satellite systems and even by fiber optics to your house.
Broadband Internet is available all areas of the united states and is continuing to grow at a very fast rate. Almost all major and some minor US cities are being serviced by more than one Broadband Provider and this can only be good for you, the consumer. Dont settle for just any terms because we all have a choice now who we "rent our bandwidth" from.
