Definition
Broadband is the transmission of wide bandwidth data over a high-speed internet connection.
So what is broadband? According to the FCC definition of broadband internet is a minimum of 25 Mbps download and 3 Mbps upload speeds. Broadband provides high speed internet.
Types of broadband connections
Broadband internet is delivered through several different technologies with varying availability based on location. Which broadband internet service you choose will depend on your needs, preferences, cost and where you live.
Fiber optic
Fiber optics carry lots of data using pulses of light through strands of fiber at the fastest speeds.
What broadband speed do I need?
Streaming HD videos, gaming and downloading large files eat up the most bandwidth. To achieve a virtually seamless experience with less lag, you may want to consider speed plans 100 Mbps and above. For all other activities like streaming music, surfing and video conferencing — anything above 25 Mbps should be enough. It all depends on how patient you are with potential buffering and slightly slower speeds when others at home are competing for bandwidth at the same time for their own activities.
