Broadband and Bandwith (what's that?)

okay, so for this task, i got a link to two different websites, and then i had to read them and now i have to answer questions about them.

so, i'll give you the links, in case you need any information about them.



okaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay, so the links aren't working for some reason.....
so i guess i can't give you the links, or do this task properly, so i'll ask mr. lennon.

he said "just google it" <----- his exact words i swear !



sooo, here we go :)

3. How much faster is broadband than dial up?
10 to 20 times

Broadband=between 256 kbit/s and 10 Mbit/s
Dial up=either 28.8 kbit/s or 56 kbit/s

5. What are some of the advantages of using a broadband connection to download something like a video compared to dial up?
You can use applications that need speed and its reallly fast. Much more then dial-up.
