Strange, but I can dig it

I always considered narrowband to mean <= DS0 or 64 kbps (aka 56 kbps aka 'speeds may not exceed 53 kbps due to FCC regulations').

Wideband has always meant a DS3 to me. (That's a bit under 45Mbps or 28 x 24 x 64 kbps. Don't ask where the extra bandwidth comes from. I don't wanna look that up for you.*)

Broadband covered the range in between narrowband and wideband (64 kbps >< 1.544 Mbps), which would still include 200 Kbps.

So what is the new term for DS0 >< DS1:

Not-so-narrowband or Not-quite-broadband?

* See »www.dfs.org/digital.html for a sweet chart on the digital hierarchy.

Another definition of broadband:
