In reality it has nothing to do with bits per second rather the width of the channel in Hertz. But I digress.

There really ought to be another term coined that denotes channel speed in bits per second.

LOL...I'm going to see what's on the broadband tube...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18509377 Fri, 15 Jun 2007 00:27:14 EDT What is broadband? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18507647 BIGMIKE : Various definers of broadband have assigned a minimum data rate to the term. Here are a few:

* Newton's Telecom Dictionary: "...greater than a voice grade line of 3 KHz...some say [it should be at least] 20 KHz."
* Jupiter Communications: at least 256 Kbps.
* IBM Dictionary of Computing: A broadband channel is "6 MHz wide."
