Definition: Technically broadband is used to define any transmission which can carry more than one channel on a single medium. For instance, the coaxial cable for your cable TV carries many channels and can simultaneously provide Internet access. Broadband is also often used to describe high-speed Internet connections such as cable modems and DSL.
