Compare BaseBand

(From old Broadband node) A nice fast connection to the Internet?, for some reason defined as 128kb by TelecomNZ.

Technically BroadBand means that the signals are converted to analog then transmitted then converted back to digital signals at the other end. BaseBand is defined as signals being transmitted digitally. The technical definition has no limits on speed. A "56k modem" would be BroadBand while 10BaseT is BaseBand. Of course this has somehow been corrupted by general use, so everyone thinks "!BroadBand" means >128k. People are weird.
