The term broadband Internet access, often shortened to "broadband Internet" or just "broadband", generically refers to last-mile Internet connections exceeding the bandwidth capabilities of standard analog modems and of ISDN connections. Broadband Internet connections are typically capable of transmitting 512 kilobits per second (kbit/s) or more.
The term broadband is itself often a misnomer, because cable modems utilise a narrowband communication channel to the ISP. Both 56 kbit/s modems and ADSL modems utilise a true broadband communication channel to the ISP.

Broadband is also commonly known as high-speed Internet, because the increased bandwidth effectively reduces the time required for transmission of data; this term is something of a misnomer, however, since the actual transmission speed is essentially the same. |
| An Internet access line can be compared to a water pipe: modem access over a telephone line is a small pipe with relatively low water capacity, while broadband access is a larger pipe with a comparatively larger water capacity. The water, or data, travels at roughly the same speed through either pipe, but the larger pipe can move more water, or data, in a given time period. |
