Broadband?
Broadband Internet conection, is an internet conection with high data-transmission rate. Broadband is based basically on DSL or cable modem technology in which the data is transmited at a much more higher speed than a normal intrenet connection. This speed is approximately nine times the speed of a modem which uses a standard digital telephone line. The standard technology used for broadband internet connection in most areas is DSL, followed by cable modem. But the newer technology is using ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) broadband connection in which digital information is transmitted at a high bandwidth on existing phone lines to homes and businesses. ADSL is asymmetric in the sense that it uses most of the channel to transmit downstream to the user and only a small part to receive information from the user.
