How Broadband Works

The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) defines broadband as an advanced communications system capable of providing high-speed (a minimum of 768 kilobits per second [Kbps] download and 200 Kbps upload) transmission of information over the Internet and other networks. Broadband can be delivered via fixed broadband or wirelessly. Both types are provided extensively throughout the Greater Philadelphia area.
