Understanding Broadband are you ready to upgrade ?

In general, broadband refers to telecommunication in which a wide band of frequencies is available to transmit information. Because a wide band of frequencies is available, information can be multiplexed and sent on many different frequencies or channels within the band concurrently, allowing more information to be transmitted in a given amount of time (much as more lanes on a highway allow more cars to travel on it at the same time). Related terms are wideband (a synonym), baseband (a one-channel band), and narrowband (sometimes meaning just wide enough to carry voice, or simply "not broadband," and sometimes meaning specifically between 50 cps and 64 Kpbs).

 

Various definers of broadband have assigned a minimum data rate to the term. Here are a few:

 

Newton's Telecom Dictionary: "...greater than a voice grade line of 3 KHz...some say [it should be at least] 20 KHz."

Jupiter Communications: at least 256 Kbps.

IBM Dictionary of Computing: A broadband channel is "6 MHz wide."

broadband internet is also shared among people. not just one line per house.
