Broadband provides users with a high-speed, always-connected Internet service - removing many of the current frustrations of standard dial-up access. Currently, most homes access the Internet via a standard dial-up modem, which is connected to a phone line. This delivers data at a speed of up to 56 kilobits per second (kbps). Additionally users have the frustration of waiting to dial-up (connect) to the Internet. Broadband, on the other hand, has a higher capacity to send more information at a much faster rate. For example, a motorway allows much more traffic to move quickly from town to town than a single lane city road does. Equally, Broadband Internet via cable modem allows more video, data and audio 'traffic' to pass faster. In addition, Broadband is always connected resulting in no more frustrating dial-up connections.
