Broadband connection is one that allows for high speeds, and supports data, voice, and even
video information. It is considered broad because multiple kinds of information can travel across
the wire, or band. High speed (or data rate) means that in addition to surfing the web without
annoying delays, you will also be able to enjoy multimedia-rich applications such as streaming
audio and videoconferencing. Broadband connections are typically always-on , so you don't have
to waste time dialing in to a service provider- as soon as the computer connected to the service
is turned on, you can start surfing!

What is remarkable is its simplicity . It uses regular copper wires with special devices at both the
switch box end at the customer’s end transforming a regular copper cable into a high bandwidth
Internet solution.
