Compared with dial-up internet, ASDL broadband is much quicker; how much depends on which package you buy. Dial up downloads data at 56Kbps, that's 56 thousand bits of information per second. Compare that with the slowest broadband, not normally available anymore: 256Kbps and the standard/fast 2Mbps: 2 million bits per second. That's quite a lot faster! Another advantage is that broadband uses signals that do not disturb the normal phone signals, so you can use a telephone at the same time as accessing the internet. One more, is that broadband is, in general, an 'always on' connection which means that it is always connected and ready to go. Because of this, broadband is billed either as a flat rate, or by the amount of data that you download rather than by the time connected as many dial-up providers use.
