History of Broadband

History of Broadband



The history of broadband is the history of the Internet. It start in the 1950s as a US Defence Department project to enable university computer systems to communicate with one another for national security purposes. Then, the university computer people began using the project to communicate with other people.
By 1983, the Internet was being accessed by dial-up modems over ordinary telephone lines.
Dial up modem was painfully slow and hugely restricted people's ability to downloaded songs, video clips and movies. In addition to slow speeds, dial-up internet was also extremely inconvenient, as it took up full use of the telephone wire.

Broadband is 10 times faster than dial-up, making more applications available, such as downloading movies and music, digital photo processing, interactive games, and of course, numerous business opportunities.
