WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BROADBAND AND NARROWBAND?
Broadband is between 4 and 40 times faster than narrowband (also known as dial up) connections, depending on which service you sign up for. This allows you to do all the things you can with a normal internet connection - only much quicker. Certain types of content, such as video and audio broadcasts, are possible at much higher quality because of the greater capacity broadband provides.
