I just finnished with the conversion from DSL to broadband and I gotta tell ya...Man is there a difference. Much easier to conquer the world now
DSL is broadband, so what did you get.
I am still waiting the leap from mule delivered Internet to having a connection within 3-5 business days. DSL is promised in the near future - next month they tell me.
(I thought anything not dialup was broadband?)
Can only speak for the UK interpretation, but it kinda went like this.
Dial-up far ages.
Cable - which became know colloquially as "broadband"
ADSL - which initially was typically 5 to 10 times faster than dial-up, but a good deal slower than cable.
Eventually ADSL cuaght up speed-wise to cable and also became "broadband".
Now we have optical options and so on, but ...
Broadband kinda becomes the one that is a broader bandwidth than the one that was the quick thing previously - really speaking any sensible meaning of "broadband" is lost and is just anything other than dial-up or pen and paper.
Eds definition matches mine. I was happy to go from cable to dsl, just because I got a lot better customer service. It was worth the slower speeds, and still much faster than the old message in a bottle method.
There's a lot to be said for the message in a bottle method, as long as you follow two simple rules.
1. It must be a single malt bottle.
2. You get to empty the bottle.

If the bottle wasn't empty, it would be alcohol abuse and that's never good.
I jumped from 1.5 mbts (DSL) to 15.1 mbts ( cable)
That's a nice jump, welan. /he writes from his 26k/s-on-a-good-day dialup account
