What is Broadband?
Broadband is a general term used to refer to a type of data transmission in which a single medium (wire) can carry several channels at once. With broadband connections, because several channels of data can be transmitted simultaneously, applications are able to perform much better than they do over a 56 Kbps modem connection. Online areas and web pages will load much faster, downloading files will take much less time, and you can enjoy fully animated interactive multiplayer games.
