broadband
DEFINITION:
The word broadband is used
to describe high-speed connection to the Internet. In other
words, it is a "broad bandwidth" connection to the Internet
that is capable of transmitting voice, video, images,
animations, and instant messages. This connection can
transmit multiple independent signals onto one cable. Since
network traffic is bi-directional, broadband services allow
both download and upload paths - asymmetrical services.
