Broadband internet access, also referred to high-speed internet access, provides businesses and consumers, internet access at considerably higher rates of speed than standard dial-up modems. Broadband does not simply pertain to one specific type of internet service or data transfer rate. Broadband is continually changing and developing, and it encompasses a wide range of technology including fibre optic cable, cable modems, Wi-Fi (wireless fidelity), WLAN (wireless local area networks), and DSL (digital subscriber lines).

Broadband internet access, also referred to high-speed internet access, provides businesses and consumers, internet access at considerably higher rates of speed than standard dial-up modems. Broadband does not simply pertain to one specific type of internet service or data transfer rate. Broadband is continually changing and developing, and it encompasses a wide range of technology including fibre optic cable, cable modems, Wi-Fi (wireless fidelity), WLAN (wireless local area networks), and DSL (digital subscriber lines).

Broadband DSL connection speeds vary, but the average DSL connection rate ranges on average between 128 kilobits per second all the way up to 1.54 megabits per second. Typical dial-up modems can't even come close to reaching typical broadband DSL speeds.

Broadband Internet users also save money by downloading their own music, games, and even movies instead of renting or purchasing them for a much higher price from a retail outlet. Of course dial up users can do this as well, but not in a very timely fashion since it could take up to a couple of hours just to download a simple song.

Broadband DSL saves money as well as valuable time. Broadband DSL eliminates the need for additional phone lines. People using broadband DSL are able to talk on the phone while browsing the net, and all computers within a household can surf the web independently with the use of wireless routers.

Broadband Internet is probably one of the few services that end with the customer never having buyers remorse. Broadband is just one of those things that people find many useful and even practical applications for. An entire book could be, and probably has been written about the usefulness of broadband Internet access.

Symmetric varieties of broadband DSL, SDSL, are IDSL and HDSL. These broadband DSL variants are suitable for most business applications. Upstream and downstream transfer rates are the same, making SDSL technology suitable for server hosting, video conferencing, LAN applications, file transfers, and email.
