What Is Wireless Broadband?
Broadband technology is simply the term given to high-speed Internet access. Broadband replaced the analog modem. A broadband connection can be delivered in several different methods, ADSL, Cable, and satellite.
With a broadband router, you can connect two or more computers to share an Internet connection at home or office.
Broadband uses a technology called NAT – Network Address Translation -, this is the use of a single IP address by all the computers in your home and office to connect and use the Internet at the same time.
The broadband connection speed to the Internet is extremely high, it supports data, voice and video information
It is considered broad in the sense that multiple kinds of information can be transmitted across the wire or band.
Additionally, with broadband, you can surf the web without delay, watch streaming videos with audio, and make a phone call all at the same time. One of the interesting things about the Broadband connection is, that it’s always on, you don’t have to waste time dialling into a service provider, it comes on as soon as your computer is powered on.
Broadband Speed
The broadband speed difference is huge. It has revolutionized so much more of the way we use the Internet to the previous dial-up Internet.
The broadband like its predecessors, information travels in two directions. Downstream and Upstream.
Downstream refers to information going from the Internet to your computer, like when a new web page is loaded.
Upstream refers to information from your computer to the Internet, like the click of the mouse- that tells a web page where you’d like to go next.
Firstly, Internet transfer speeds are measured in kilobits per second and megabits per second, don’t mistake it for kilobytes and megabytes, we use these terms when we talk about hard disks and files.
Below is a summary of broadband calculated speeds.
You have to keep in mind that the above data could be affected by your PC processing speed, viruses etc.
