Broadband Internet access, often shortened to just "
broadband", is high speed Internet access—typically contrasted with
dial-up access over
modem.Dial-up modems are generally only capable of a maximum
bitrate of 56 kbit/s (kilo
bits per second) and require the full use of a telephone line—whereas broadband technologies supply at least double this speed and generally without disrupting telephone use. Although various minimum speeds have been used in definitions of
broadband, ranging up from 64 kbit/s up to 1.0 Mbit/s, the
OECD Broadband Statistics report is typical in counting only download speeds equal to or faster than 256 kbit/s as
broadband, and the
US FCC use 200 kbit/s in their definition.
