| These days, "broadband" is a word that is thrown | | | | wider range and type of frequencies, meaning |
| around easily in telecommunications and internet | | | | different types of data. And what it can carry, it |
| lingo, but the average consumer may not have a | | | | carries faster. When you drive on the interstate, |
| clear understanding of how broadband works. It's | | | | what happens when there aren't enough lanes for |
| easy to understand why; the technology industry | | | | the number of cars on the road? Everyone is |
| even has trouble defining it clearly. So how does | | | | forced to go slower.The same happens with the |
| broadband work? The online Webster's dictionary | | | | internet. Think of your connection to the internet |
| defines broadband as "A class of communication | | | | as a tunnel that links your computer to the |
| channel capable of supporting a wide range of | | | | internet. A regular phone line can allow only a small |
| frequencies, typically from audio up to video | | | | amount of data to pass through at a time. In |
| frequencies. A broadband channel can carry | | | | comparison, a broadband is a wider (or broader) |
| multiple signals by dividing the total capacity into | | | | tunnel, allowing a greater amount of information |
| multiple, independent bandwidth channels, where | | | | to pass through your connection at one time. The |
| each channel operates only on a specific range of | | | | breadth of this tunnel is called "bandwidth." The |
| frequencies." Let's take a look at each part of the | | | | more bandwidth you have, the faster you can |

| first part of answering the question 'how does | | | | download files that require a great deal of |
| broadband work' is to think about the phrase a | | | | different types of frequencies as well, such as |
| "class of communication channel." We can gather | | | | audio and video files.This is a partial answer to the |
| from this that it is different from the normal class | | | | question 'how does broadband work,' but the |
| of communication channel that we use - our | | | | other has to do with the way that broadband |
| regular phone lines. Phone lines, also called | | | | services can compress and transmit that data |
| baseband lines, normally carry 29.6kbps of analog | | | | that you're sending. Go back to the cars on the |
| data when used for voice communications. But | | | | interstate analogy. What if suddenly all of the cars |
| with the advent of the internet, people began to | | | | could be miniaturized? What would that do to the |
| demand faster data transmission. A regular, | | | | traffic jam? Or if they could use all of the space |
| baseband phone line can carry up to 56kbps of | | | | available in the tunnel - above your head, between |
| data with the help of a high-speed modem, but | | | | cars, etc. Broadband technology not only widens |
| without additional technology, that is its maximum | | | | the channels you have, but it uses them more |
| capacity.That wasn't nearly fast enough to keep | | | | efficiently. Meaning you can get more out of the |
| up with the average person's demand for and | | | | bandwidth that you have. Broadband makes your |
| dependency on the internet, which led to the | | | | internet experience faster and more efficient |
| demand for broadband. So how does broadband | | | | overall.Van Theodorou will help you slash your |
