Access to broadband Internet, which in most cases is reduced only “broadband”, the high-speed Internet access in contrast with the dial on a modem. Dial-up modems are usually only capable of a maximum speed of 56 kbit / s and requires the full use of the telephone line, while in the same period, the broadband technology offers at least twice this speed does not bother to use the phone.
Although different speeds minimum requirements were in the definition of broadband, up to 64 kbit / s to 1.0 Mb / s, the report by the OECD is typical, with only the download speeds equal to or faster fact that the 256 kbit / s broadband. The speeds are based on the maximum duration for downloading from several municipalities as consumer broadband ADSL technology, “asymmetric”, the support is much slower than the maximum speed upload download.
Broadband Internet is sometimes referred to as high-speed Internet, as there is normally a high-speed transmission of data. In general, no connection with the customers to 256 kbit / s (0256 Mbit / s) or more, than the high-speed Internet. According to the International Telecommunication Union area of standardisation recommendation I.113, broadband is defined as a way of the transfer, which is higher than the debit from ISDN primary and 1.5 to 2 Mbit / s.
Practically, announced flow is not always easily accessible to customers, the service provider is usually a larger number of subscribers, the backbone of the connection can handle, under the assumption that most users do not use the full capacity of the connection very often.
This aggregation strategy works in a way to blow typical of the users the full bandwidth, in most cases. There is an increase in bandwidth, in the end, the market expects the video-on-demand over the Internet is becoming more popular, but at the moment, these services typically require specialized networks.
