No. broadband does not use Public Switch Telephone Network (PTSN).
ISDN is dial up lines and PSTN is a broadband line.
1.Dial-up connection via public switched telephone network (PSTN) 2. GPRS connection or any connection above or = 128kbps bandwidth is a classified as broadband.
Depends where you are for age and do you have BB in your area? Its a contract, Sometimes through the phone line aslong as its a PSTN line (i think).
pstn, isdn, cable modem, hub, direct cable connection
By the way, call from VOIP can be received by pstn modem. But pstn cannot make a call to VoIP number.
PSTN stands for a public switched telephone network. A PSTN gateway is hardware components that third parties use to translate signaling.
Eircom install PSTN lines. UPC install VoIP over cable. Digiweb install VoIP over their Metro wireless service.
NO PSTN NETWORKS ARE NOT RELIABLE. The PSTN is he telephone network that links the world together. The 1st answer has some truth to it, but most of the time (except in the case of fios of other fiber services) you do use the PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) to connect to the internet as is in the case of dial up and dsl. However the internet is partly a pstn network and when is the last time the entire internet went down, all across the world. The internet is the worlds most reliable network, and the largest. How the PTSN works, is a whole book (or two) in its own, being compromised of millions, possibly billions of miles of cable and many various satellite, radio, and cable networks within its self. The electrical grid is much less reliable since outages happen several times a year while I've only had mabye 1 phone outage in my life.

The Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) is considered a prime network of communication because it has been the backbone of global voice communication for over a century. It provides reliable, circuit-switched connections that ensure high-quality voice transmission. PSTN infrastructure is extensive, covering urban and rural areas, and it has established standards that facilitate interoperability between different service providers. Its robustness and widespread accessibility make it an essential component of modern telecommunications.
Its wide availability.
