The term broadband can have different meanings in different contexts. The term's meaning has undergone substantial shifts.

In telecommunication

Broadband in telecommunications refers to a signaling method that includes or handles a relatively wide range (or band) of frequencies, which may be divided into channels or frequency bins. Broadband is always a relative term, understood according to its context. The wider the bandwidth, the greater the information-carrying capacity. In radio, for example, a very narrow-band signal will carry Morse code; a broader band will carry speech; a still broader band is required to carry music without losing the high audio frequencies required for realistic sound reproduction. A television antenna described as "broadband" may be capable of receiving a wide range of channels; while a single-frequency or Lo-VHF antenna is "narrowband" since it only receives 1 to 5 channels. In data communications a digital modem will transmit a datarate of 56 kilobits per seconds (kbit/s) over a 4 kilohertz wide telephone line (narrowband). However when that same line is converted to a standard twisted-pair wire (no telephone filters), it becomes hundreds of kilohertz wide (broadband) and can carry several megabits per second (ADSL).

How do you cancel a vodafone mobile broadband contract?
Q. I have got vodafone mobile broadband and a contract with it. It isnt very good and takes forever to bring up internet pages. But I don't think you can cancel the contract until the end.
Asked by rossafire - Sat Nov 29 16:31:51 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. You can cancel your contract anytime, although they probably have a 4 week notice period. Have you tried your vodafone connection in various locations, to see if it makes a difference? Maybe you have a weak 3G signal. Also, is the laptop that you're running it on performing as normal? A slow machine means your browsing session might also be slower. Also, call their customer service and tell them about your problem, at least to see if they can throw any light on the matter.

What is the best Satellite or mobile broadband provider?
Q. I travel alot in a motor home and want broadband for my laptop. I have found T-Mobile broadband, but they say I have to connect the computer to my cell phone and I don't want to have to do that. Is there a good satallite broadband that does not have a big dish and has unlimited usage?
Asked by CreppelJP - Thu Jan 15 13:47:09 2009 - - 1 Answers - 2 Comments

A. The problem with satellite broadband is that it is broadband only in the Internet to home direction, for the home to Internet direction, you still need a physical connection, usually which in your case would be dial-up. I am not sure why you do not wan to use the T-Mobile broadband through your cell, unless it is cost prohibitive, and I do not remember T-Mobile being that expensive. However, you may encounter roaming charges.
