broadband
Quick web connection
Broadband refers to high-speed internet access that transmits data across a wide band of frequencies, allowing multiple signals simultaneously.
The term distinguishes fast, always-on connections from older dial-up service: We finally got broadband out here in the country.
Broadband has become nearly synonymous with internet service itself, as dial-up has faded into obsolescence.
