I read somewhere that broadband vaguely means fast internet but how fast is not defined. As such, some ISPs are selling even dailup as broadband only because it’s faster than 56kps.
Now, how do I tell that a service on offer is really broadband?
I’ve seen an ISP advertising broadband connection at 64, 128 and 256kps. this has a flat monthly fee.
comes with a USB modem/ethernet modem and a landline.
alternatively, they have a wireless version that would use a PC card.
i currently have a WIMAX broadband connection that is bundled and billed on usage.
the speed tests have so far shown between 200-800 kbps
