xs1 Posted February 12, 2005 CID Share Posted February 12, 2005 thats more like thinband VanBuren close! 'tis called "narrowband' . They can call it that since speeds may be dialup , but its still "always on" so they can legaly claim " broadband" Its more commonly used as a dsl term i believe, but in this case it could be !

falco Posted February 12, 2005 CID Share Posted February 12, 2005 Here is the definition of "broadband from answers.com: High-speed transmission. The term is commonly used to refer to Internet access via cable modems or DSL, which is faster than dial-up. For years, "broadband" has referred to a higher-speed connection, but the actual speed threshold has varied. While T1 (1.5 Mbps) has been widely used as the threshold, others have used T3 (45 Mbps) for broadband. For example, after the turn of the century, South Korea leapfrogged the U.S. in Internet access, offering DSL up to 50 Mbps and calling their 1.5 Mbps service "light." In every case, however, it implies transmitting at higher speeds. See broadband router, T1, cable modem and DSL. falco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

netmasta Posted February 12, 2005 CID Share Posted February 12, 2005 I think I remember hearing someware that the U.S. government considers 200kbps and up broadband. No wonder we're behind other countries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MICROWAVE Posted February 14, 2005 CID Share Posted February 14, 2005 As I remember it the original concept was that it be a much higher number, but 1.5 won Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netmasta Posted February 14, 2005 CID Share Posted February 14, 2005 Maybe we need "mediumband". Ex: 56Kbps and lower = narrowband 57Kbps - ~350Kb mediumband 351k and ^ broadband. At least for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
