A broadband connection has much wider bandwidth available to it than a standard telephone connection. Wider bandwidth allows more information to be modulated onto the carrier.
It is called "broadband" because of this wider bandwidth.
Broadband is usually 40 to 60 megabytes per second faster, but can range all the way to 300 mbps faster.
It's about 30x faster.
No it is not. Optimum Online is much faster than most broadband services. It also offers support and security features.
Speed, mainly. Broadband (cable internet) is going to be much faster than DSL.
Broadband internet is a way to make sure you get faster on the internet. It is replacing dial-up connection. It is safer, faster and much better. A few carriers of broadband are Verizon, Xfinity and Fairpoint. You could also check your local yellow pages for Broadband carriers.
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.
The internet speed is much faster.
Broadband
Broadband can be either cable or DSL, depending on the area in which you live. The speeds can vary greatly, but you can be assured it will be much faster than dial-up.
This can be a complicated question, but in most cases cable is faster than DSL. Cable offers more bandwidth to more people than DSL, and the coaxial cables used to transmit data are much larger.
transport
DSL is considered to be broadband speed. There is a difference in speed between DSL and Cable. Cable is generally much faster.
