broadband is a internet connection so is dial up -dsl etc some are just faster

"Broadband" refers to high-speed Internet connections that allow for transfers of information at rates far faster than those of dial-up modems A broadband connection (ADSL) provides high-speed Internet access over a standard phone line. The advantage of a broadband connection over a standard dialup service, is that Broadband is considerably faster, and is 'always-on', meaning that once you're logged on, your PC is online until the PC is turned off again. Broadband offer high-speed Internet access and allows telephone calls and a permanent Internet connection to share a single phone line simultaneously. Transfer speeds for Broadband are up to50 times faster than via dial-up modems, creating the opportunity for people to download mp3s (compressed digital audio files) or films without having to wait for hours.
