The term broadband commonly refers to high-speed Internet access that is always on and faster than the traditional dial-up access. Broadband includes several high-speed transmission technologies such as: Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) Cable Modem.
But now that math has changed. If you use the FCC's new definition of broadband, which excludes all the dial-up and most DSL and other super-slow ISPs that used to count as broadband, then roughly 12 million US households that previously qualified as having access to broadband no longer qualify.
