What Is Broadband

Author : Neil Shevlin
All About Broadband



Defining broadband in simple terms



There are so many different ways to define broadband. The most obvious definition is basically a transmission medium that lets a person send and receive various types of data along multiple pathways. This is far better than voice communication devices. In the simplest terms, it is being able to access a wide range of data through a single connection at a speed that is reasonable.



The difference between traditional dial-up connections and broadband is great. A phone line limits the amount of information that can be sent and received because it only has 56kbps. In contrast, the width of a broadband connection is greater than 2 mbps. This allows a person to access many different frequencies and channels on its wide pathway. It has made life much simpler for those that like to play video games on the Internet and also for those people who do things like heavy graphics work. They can now import, send and receive large amounts of data quickly and easily.



The minimum width of a broadband pathway is still being debated. When broadband first came onto the scene, it was defined as any line that was greater than 2 mbps in width. It has been suggested by experts that the definition of a broadband pathway should be at least 3 mbps. There are others who have complained that it should be at least 20 mbps. The debate continues to rage on, and now people that wish to give a broadband connection a trial use often have service at 1 mbps. The point is that people cannot really agree what the minimum width of bandwidth should be for it to be called broadband. Even DSL service, which ranges between 256kbps of capacity on the downstream and over 1.5 mbps on the upstream capacity, is being labeled as broadband. This current definition of broadband also includes cable TV modems, which operate at similar speeds. The bottom line is that anything that is larger than the narrow line of a telephone line, which will only hold 64 kbps, falls under the technical definition of broadband.



Nowadays, nearly everyone has broadband service. When the Internet began to be more popular with the general population, most people were content with the narrow line dial-up Internet services. But we have a need for speed these days. Files and Web pages have become more complicated, and this requires more storage space and memory. The need to send and receive bulky amounts of information quickly has become the norm, so broadband service is the answer to these needs. It is hard to find anyone who uses dial-up service these days. Everyone wants to take advantage of the benefits of broadband. These benefits are now considered essential to every type of office worker that uses a computer in their daily job. The only people who probably don't consider broadband important are those that don't make a living with their computer. However, this too, is changing, as more telecommuting jobs become available..
