Re: Aboo?

oh really? whats so 'broad' about 64k? and why do we have the term 'narrowband'?

the word's got EVERYTHING to do with speed.

and this plan's pathetic when the bells offer dsl for about the same price as this provider's 128k POS.

Well, I suppose there are two different ways to look at it.

I consider it to be broadband because it uses shared transmission media - CATV, which also carries cable TV.

OTOH, there are various definitions of 'narrowband', like less than 28.8k, less than 56k, less than or equal to 64k, voice-grade or lower (how fast is that?), less than a T1 line (!?), and so on.

So I don't know. Matter of opinion, I guess.

edit: Just to clarify, I was thinking broadband vs baseband ... different sort of idea.
