It is called "broadband" because of this wider bandwidth.

Is peoplepc Broadband faster than Peoplepc Dsl?

I am not familiar with PeoplePC but I do know that ANY broadband connection is faster than DSL. The reason: DSL runs through unused wires in your phone line. This is not good for transfering data. Still it's better than dial-up. Broadband uses a much much larger cable designed for sending and receiving vast amounts of information very quickly. Broadband runs through a coaxial cable - the same thing that plugs into your television.
