Press Release Body = Broadband is a high-speed Internet connection that provides a
large bandwidth. It is considered a very quick connection. It is an "always-on" type
of connection and can transmit data at a much faster rate than your usual dialup
connection. Broadband also has the added advantage of not tying up your phone line,
which means you can use the both the Internet and telephone at the same time.
Broadband can be provided from a variety of sources, including over the top of your
phone line as in ADSL or on dedicated line such as Cable or ISDN.
Typically, low-band Internet access is running up to 56kbps using a dial-up modem.
Mid-band Internet is described as dialup access that operates at 64kbps or 128kbps.
Standard broadband starts at 512kbps, which is about five times faster than dial-up
service. Broadband is also available at 1mbps, 1.5mbps and 2.2mbps. There are
companies that offer broadband at 4mbps and 8mbps. The maximum possible for cable is
around 26mbps and 24mbps for ADSL. These speeds are not sold commercially because
the cost to upgrade the telephone lines to be able to transmit data at these speeds
is very high.
Downloading and streaming music and video is very quick with broadband. There are a
lot of websites now that are designed especially for broadband users. They have
intense integrated graphics, flash and video. Broadband is also popular for online
gaming. Game consoles like Xbox and PS2 have broadband support included. You can
then subscribe to different types of gaming packages from your current ISP, which
makes it possible to play Xbox and PS2 games live with other gamers over the
Internet. Actually, online PC gaming has been going on since the Internet came into
use, but in the past it was difficult to do. Slow and jerky response from your
computer made it hard to play, and you always had to keep an eye on the time. Now,
with the faster speeds of broadband, it has become much easier and is quickly
gaining in popularity. Some games are now being released that require an Internet
connection to play.
The growing popularity of broadband has made it necessary for most providers to put
a maximum limit on the amount of music, video and other data you can download. This
limit can vary greatly, from as low as 1 GB up to 30 GB. Extreme users can get
unlimited downloads if they wish. However, exceeding your ISP's download limit
usually results in having a limited connection or no connection at all.
