Concept in Definition ABC

When speaking of broadband, it refers to a connection system to Internet and of transmission of data. Currently, broadband is one of the best options since it allows you to enjoy a velocity data much higher than what happens with access via dial-up. In addition, broadband also makes it possible to maintain permanent access to the Internet without interrupting the telephone connection since they use external modems.

Broadband can also appear in many places as "high speed connection" or "high speed internet". While the dial up can reach a maximum speed of 56 kbits per second, the broadband works with a minimum of 256 kbits per second reaching currently up to 2 Mbits per second. One of the fundamental details of broadband is that it allows constant connection to the Internet, but for many experts, this situation generates that the amount of Users who use the service simultaneously grow noticeably, consequently producing problems in information traffic, as well as in the Connection. On the other hand, broadband service prices are usually offered based on a fixed rate that does not increase regardless of the amount of utility that is given to the service. Unlike dial up, broadband then offers higher speed at a fixed and secure price.

The functioning of broadband is based on the use of DSL technologies and cable modems. However, in the present, the technology Wi / Fi, which does not need wiring, is growing more and more, especially to supply those users who they live in areas without the technologies or capabilities necessary to establish complex cable modem systems. The optical fiber, the material used for broadband data transmission, it has proven to be much more efficient than copper and much more effective in relation to the possible speed acquired.
