Broadband refers to telecommunications in which a wide band of frequencies is available to transmit data over physical cables or wires.
 
Information can be transmitted on many different frequencies or channels within the band simultaneously thus allowing more information to be sent in a given time period.
 
In the context of the Internet, broadband is connecting to the Internet and transferring data at speeds faster than 200 kilobits (kb) per second.
 
With broadband, web pages download at lightening speed and surfing the web becomes a whole new experience.
 
Examples of Internet broadband technologies include DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) and cable modem.
 
**It’s important to note that most people today still have dial-up Internet access of 56 kilobits (56kb) or less. Many people still connect with 28,800 modems.
 
Internet marketers must build their web pages to download at reasonable speeds over 28,800 bps modems. This ensures that the greatest number of people will see these web pages successfully. Internet marketing is a numbers game so the more people who see your pages, the more sales you’ll make.
