BROADBAND
By Emily Midwinter
WHAT BROADBAND IS
Broadband is high-speed data transmission in which
a single cable can carry a large amount of data at
once. The most common types of Internet broadband
connections are cable modems (which use the same
connection as cable TV) and DSL modems (which use
your existing phone line).
Because of its multiple channel capacity, broadband
has started to replace baseband, the single-channel
technology originally used in most computer
networks.
ADVANTAGES The connection speed is almost 100 times faster than
dial up (you can get up to 100mb a month)
There is always connection to the internet
You get high quality internet and phone lines for a
reasonable price via VolP
You get unlimited access without being charged for the
duration that you use it
It does not affect your phone line as you can use them
both at the same time.
It is easily accessible so that you can do a lot at once
DISADVANTAGES
The fee is a lot more than the dial up fee was
There is a higher security risk as you need a firewall to protect
your PC
Not all cable TV networks are equipped for cable internet access
There is a lot of piracy by people not paying for downloading
music and movies.
High street stores are loosing money and becoming less popular

service has gone live and is promising home broadband speeds
on a mobile phone.
