If you were among the early users of an internet connection in the 90's, you will definitely remember using a dial-up modem. The sound of the modem attempting to connect to the phone line most probably rings in your ears at its mention. The very act of connecting to the internet used to be such a gargantuan task.
You would probably try at least five to ten times before successfully connecting to the Internet. Even after logging in, you could go and make a cup of tea before a Web page could open. And if by chance the connection speed was good, a simple phone call could cause it to disconnect immediately.
But who would have thought then that an Internet connection would be as simple as turning on your computer or handheld device! With the introduction of broadband Internet, it has become so easy to connect to the Internet.
Broadband access to the Internet, which is shortened to "broadband" is a high speed data rate connection. Dial up connections were limited to 56kbit/sec typically and required the use of a telephone line. Comparatively broadband can deliver two times the speed of dial-up connection without blocking telephone lines.
In terms of telecommunications, broadband refers to a signalling method that includes or handles a relatively wide range of frequencies. These frequencies can be divided into channels or frequency ranges. The term is always relative, and in general a function of context. The ability of a broadband channel to transmit information depends on the width of the bandwidth.
ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) and cable internet are the standard technology used by broadband. There are new technologies, including VDSL (Very High Speed Digital Subscriber Line) and pushing fiber optic connections to subscribers of cable systems and telephone.
Fiber optic communication is a key player in enabling access to broadband Internet. This makes the information transfer over long distances more cost effective than copper wire technology.
In areas where broadband cable or DSL is not in use, Wi-Fi is installed for community purposes. Several municipalities have established municipal Wi-Fi networks to provide internet to the entire city. Wi-Fi is used on a smaller scale to facilitate Internet access in offices and even for personal use at home.
With the number of Smartphones increasing in the market, broadband mobile access is becoming very popular. AS most of these Smartphones are Wi-Fi enabled, even shopping complexes now allow customers to connect to their Wi-Fi network. Coffee Shops and restaurants also offer Wi-Fi accessibility either at a certain price or free for their customers.
There are a lot of Service Providers that offer very good plans for Broadband packages. These include plans for Business as well as for home use.
