Also see bandwidth to more understand each other.
In general, the explanation of broadband refers to telecommunications in which a wide band of frequencies that is available to transmit information to other devices. Because a wide band of frequencies is available, information can be multiplexed and sent on many frequencies or channels in the band simultaneously, which allows more information to be transmitted in a given period of time (up to several lanes on a highway to allow more cars to travel this topic at the same time).
The related terms are wide (a synonym), basic (a chain gang) and narrowband (sometimes meaning broad enough to carry voice, or simply "not broadband", and sometimes meaning specifically cps between 50 and 64 kpbs).
A variety of definers of broadband have assigned a minimum data rate to the term. Here are a few:

- Newton's Telecom Dictionary: "...greater than a voice grade line of 3 KHz...some say [it should be at least] 20 KHz."
- Jupiter Communications: at least 256 Kbps.
- IBM Dictionary of Computing: A broadband channel is "6 MHz wide."
