Member Posts: 15 Location: U.K	Broadband gets its name as it works on a frequency on your telephone line, the telephone operates on the lower band frequency of the telephone line. Broadband operates on the higher frequencies of the line, also use a much broader band of frequencies than telephone calls, hence the name broadband. Also broadband can be used at the same time as the telephone is in use, when you purchase a broadband router or modem you will / should be supplied with micro filters. The purpose of the micro filter is to separate the low band frequencies from the high band frequencies. If there were not micro filters the frequencies would intermix and cause interference, which may cause your service to be slow or intermittent. In most case you can also get noise interference on the telephone line also. Broadband is classed as any connection of 128 Kbps or above (to find out more about broadband speed check back one page I will be writing more articles on everything broadband related). With the old dial up connections we only used to be able to get up to 56Kbps with broadband we can achieve 128 kbps up to 24 Mbps on ADSL broadband and as much as 40 Mbps on Cable or fibre optic Broadband.
