Many DSL connections are broadband, but not all broadband is DSL. Broadband is a type of telecommunication that uses multiple data channels to send large volumes of information. The term broadband is an abbreviation of "broad bandwidth." Broadband internet services such as DSL and cable are considered to be high-bandwidth connections. Bandwidth is the amount of data that can be sent along a given channel per second.
There are three popular types of broadband Internet service: satellite, DSL and cable. Satellite Internet uses a satellite that's in orbit around the Earth to facilitate the transfer of data. DSL transfers data along unused bandwidth on ordinary telephone cable. Cable Internet uses a coaxial television cable to provide Internet service.
The slowest of all broadband services is DSL. It is also the least expensive service. It offers speeds up to 6 megabits per second (Mbps). Cable is faster, but it's less reliable and more expensive. Although cable Internet service providers often advertise download speeds up to 30 Mbps, cable users rarely achieve these speeds. Satellite is the most expensive of all commonly used broadband Internet services. Satellite speeds can range anywhere between 1 and 3 Mbps. The Federal Communications Commission now defines a broadband connection as having speeds of 768 Kbps. Therefore, not all DSL connections are considered broadband
Broadband is any connection above a certain speed (I think around 700 kbps), while DSL is a specific way of providing broadband.
DSL is broadband over telephone wires. For households, the primary alternatives to DSL are broadband over cable (from a cable TV provider) or wireless broadband over a cell phone network.
The difference between broadband and phone line is the method by which the information travels. Broadband utilizes fiber optic cables to send and recieve signals. Phone line internet connections are often reffered to as dial up or narrowband connections. They carry information via phone lines.
Brodbands Faster
DSL is considered to be broadband speed. There is a difference in speed between DSL and Cable. Cable is generally much faster.
DSL is broadband
Mobile broandband uses the same airwaves to transmit data as cellphones do. DSL uses a regular landline phone line to transmit data.

One can obtain broadband DSL by contacting a company that specializes in broadband services. These companies include AT&T Internet and Broadband National.
Speed, mainly. Broadband (cable internet) is going to be much faster than DSL.
It works with a broadband connection. dsl=broadband, therefore should work (unless you have a slow dsl connection.
If you're talking about mobile broadband for your phone, it's neither DSL nor T1: it's 3G.
Cable broadband does not necessarily cost more money than DSL broadband. The cost will depend on the company providing the service.
you dont have to have dsl,you just have to have a broadband connection.
