broadband services
Fast web access
Broadband services are high-speed internet connections that allow continuous data transmission over a wide range of frequencies.
The term distinguishes faster connections—cable, fiber optic, DSL—from older dial-up technology that tied up phone lines.
Broadband enables streaming, video calls, and other bandwidth-intensive activities: Many rural areas still lack reliable broadband services.
