Broadband refers to the telecommunications signal of greater bandwidth. The term is usually connected with internet connections.
2. What units are used to measure Bandwidth?
Bandwidth is measured in bits per second. (bits/s)
3. How much faster is broadband than dial up?
According to Wikipedia the Free Encyclopedia Broadband is roughly double the dial-up rate and that is achieved through multilinking technology.
4. What are the speeds that broadband operates at compared to dial up?
Dail-up modems are limited to a bitrate of aroung 56 kbit/s (56 kilobits per second) or less whereas Broadband internet's bitrate ranges from 64 kbit/s to 4.0 mbit/s and has data transfer rates at 256 kbit/s.
5. What are some of the advantages of using a broadband connection to download something like a video compared to dial up?
A great advantage is that the video will load faster. This is because a video loads through some data coming to your computer at a time. Broadband has greater bandwidth and therefore more data will be downloaded at once than a dial up connection.
