Broadband connection is one that allows for high speeds, transmitting all digital information formats and supports data, voice, and even video information. It is considered broad because multiple kinds of information can travel across the wire, or band. High speed (or data rate) means that in addition to surfing the web without annoying delays, you will also be able to enjoy multimedia-rich applications such as streaming audio and video-conferencing.
Broadband connections are typically realtime , so you don't have to waste time dialing in to a service provider- you just need to put your hands to a connected computer and start going.
