Broad band
1. What is broadband?
Broadband is the term used for any kind of fast Internet access. Broadband is designed to give a business or residential user instant Internet access 24 hours a day.
2. What units are used to measure bandwidth?
3. How much faster is broadband than dial up?
It's fast ... generally 10-20 times faster than your existing dial-up modem..
4. What are the speeds that broadband operates at compared to dial up?
A typical dial-up modem operates at either 28.8 kbit/s or 56 kbit/s. A broadband connection operates at between 256 kbit/s and 10 Mbit/s, depending on the service you have selected
5. What are some of the advantages of using a broadband connection to download something like a video compared to dial up?Up to 10 times faster then dial up allows you to download bigger properties and you do not waist time dialing up the interent.
Read the paragraph below:
Think of your connection to the internet as a tunnel that links your computer to the internet. A regular phone line can allow only a small amount of data to pass through at a time. In comparison, a broadband is a wider (or broader) tunnel, allowing a greater amount of information to pass through your connection at one time. The width of this tunnel is called "bandwidth." The more bandwidth you have, the faster you can move data.
6. Create an image in paint that illustrates how a high bandwidth connection can move more data compared to a dial up connection at a given time.
Have a look at the Australian Bureau of statistics website link below. It shows all of the internet usage in the last 3 years. Answer the following:
Australian Bureau of Statistics
A] How many people subscribed to the internet in 2007? How many of these were for business use? How many for home use? At the end of December quarter 2007, there were 7.10 million subscribers to the Internet in Australia. This compromised 964,000 business and government subscribers and 6.14 million household subscribers
B] Look at the access technologies heading. How many more people are using broadband since 2005? Remember that you have to add 000 to the numbers.
Have a look at the site below. It tests the speed of your internet.
Check internet speed
1. What is the speed of the connection from your computer to the Sydney location on the map?
368 k/bs
2. What is the speed of the connection from your computer to the U.S location on the map?
570 k/bs
2. Why did the data transfer rates vary? [Hint: think of what happens when an eight lane highway moves into a two lane highway?]
The data went into a smaller bandwidth tube that holds less data and went slower.
