What is Broadband Video?
Webster's defines it as "having, or operating with uniform efficiency over a wide band of frequencies."

Broadband, in terms relating to the internet is a wide term representing all connections to the world wide web that are faster than standard 28.8kbps and 56kbps modems. Broadband connections include but are not limited to connecting your computer to the internet via DSL, Cable, ISDN, T1, T3, or Satellite connections. These alternate methods allow you the user to surf the net and download files and streaming media at speeds ranging from 2 to 100 times faster than a conventional 56kbps modem. Broadband connections are typically "always on" which means that your computer is always connected to the internet and there is no need to dial in to your ISP.

Broadband Video is also called streaming media -- the exciting new technology that allows you to hear and see audio and video over the Internet.

Note: Currently the 2 most affordable and widely used broadband connections for home users are DSL and Cable connections.

Should I get Cable or DSL?

ADSL provides a dedicated service over a single telephone line; cable modems offer a dedicated service over a shared cable line. While cable modems have greater download speed capabilities (up to 30 Mbps), that bandwidth is shared among all users on a line, and will therefore vary dramatically as more users in a neighborhood get online at the same time. Another problem of cable modems is security. There are still some cable modem systems in existence that do not encrypt/filter traffic within the local cable loop. In this case, you will be able to spy on all the internet usage by your neighbors, and they will be able spy on your internet activities.
DSL can tend to be more expensive, and the speed will vary depending on your distance from the telephone company switch. We would recommend DSL for users looking for the utmost privacy while viewing adult content.

Broadband Help / FAQs

Cable:

Cable internet connections use standard TV cable to connect your computer to the internet. Each user has a shared connection along with the other users in their local neighborhood. Cable connections can run up to speeds of 10000kbps, thus making it the fastest internet connection widely available for home users. This speed will diminish as other people in your neighborhood use the internet simultaneously.

Cable subscriptions generally run from $30 to $50 a month.

Cable Internet connections do not interfere with your TV cable connection.

DSL:

DSL stands for "Digital Subscriber Line". It uses existing telephone lines and provides each user with a dedicated connection to your phone companies central office, where the actual connection to the Internet occurs.

Most DSL providers guarantee a minimum speed of 384kbps but often the connection will go as high as 1500kbps. The distance between you and the phone companies central office will affect the speed.

DSL does not prevent you from making or receiving phone calls while you are connected to the Internet. Your existing copper telephone lines are made up of high and low bandwidth channels. The lower bandwidth channel carries your voice communication (telephone), which leaves the higher bandwidth channel available for two-way high-speed data transmission utilizing DSL technology. Therefore, you can talk on the phone at the same time you are accessing the Internet at DSL Speed, and do not need an extra phone line.

DSL subscriptions generally run from $30 to $80 a month.

DSL refers to a class of technology used to obtain more bandwidth over existing copper telephone cabling running between a customer's premises and a Telco's Central Office. DSL allows simultaneous voice and high-speed data services such as super fast Internet access over a single pair of copper telephone wires. There are several variations of 'DSL' that include:

ADSL -
R-ADSL -
HDSL -
VDSL -
SDSL -

Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line
Rate-Adaptive Digital Subscriber Line
High Bit-Rate Digital Subscriber Line
Very High Bit-Rate Digital Subscriber Line
Symmetric Digital Subscriber Line

As the saying goes, 'there is no such thing as a free lunch' and a Telco must make compromises between costs, distance, speeds, reliability, equipment, etc when implementing or offering 'DSL' services. Each variation of 'DSL' reflects the different compromises made by Telco's when deciding how far and how fast data can flow on a particular kind of subscriber line.

Conversely, traditional telephony is the very essence of narrowband, the status quo everyone is trying to surpass, even the telcos themselves through digital subscriber line technology. With speeds of less than one megabit per second, DSL - or its mass market version, ADSL - fails to make the broadband grade in the eyes of most cable operators. Certainly ADSL is broader band, and any student of telecom history knows never to underestimate the telcos. DSL could be the most promising broadband technology around.

What is the theoretical performance of DSL?
Here is a simple table for you to see the theoretical performances of the different types of DSL services. As you can see the theoretical performance of some DSL services are quite comparable to T1 and E1 speeds that are usually more appropriate in Universities and corporate environments. Note however that many users of high speed connectivity often purchase subsets (i.e. lesser) bandwidth than the theoretical maximum.

Connection	Maximum Transfer Rate	Distance Limitations Using 24-Gauge Wire
56 K Analogue Modem	56 kbit/s	None
ISDN	Up to 128 Kbps (Multilink PPP)	3.4 miles / 5.4 Km
Cable Modem	10-30 Mbit/s Downstream 128 kbit/s to 10 Mbit/s Upstream (Shared bandwidth)	30 miles / 48 Km over coaxial cable
ADSL (Most Popular)	1.5 - 8 Mbit/s Downstream Up to 1.544 Mbit/s Upstream	3.4 miles / 5.4 Km
HDSL	T1 - 1.544 Mbit/s (2 wire pairs) E1 - 2.048 Mbit/s (3 wire pairs)	2.2 miles / 3.6 Km 3.4 miles / 5.4 Km
SDSL	T1 - 1.544 Mbit/s E1 - 2.048 Mbit/s	2 miles / 3 Km
VDSL	13 - 52 Mbit/s Downstream 1.5 - 2.3 Mbit/s Upstream Up to 34 Mbit/s if symmetric	1,000 ft/304 m 4,500 ft/1371 m depending on speed
R-ADSL	1.5 - 8 Mbit/s Downstream Up to 1.544 Mbit/s Upstream	3.4 miles /

ISDN:

Integrated Services Digital Network: Digital telecommunications lines with 2 channels that can yield a combined capacity of 128 kbps.

MODEMS:

Without the Internet, no one would care about bandwidth. Most Internet users, however, and virtually all Internet sites don't need broadband capability. Ebay addicts, email users and Amazon.com browsers get along fine with 28.8 or 56 kbps connections. Broadband will no doubt bring bells and whistles to those sites, but their fundamentally successful premises were forged in a narrowband world.

MP3:

MP3 is an open standard, meaning no one organization controls it. On the Internet, open standards win and this is why even without any significant corporate backing, MP3 is already the de facto standard. There are more MP3 listeners, software programs, and hardware devices than any other CD quality audio format in the world. Microsoft has built MP3 support into Windows98 SP1. Macromedia Shockwave uses MP3. Newest version of RealPlayer will support MP3. Microsoft NetShow also supports MP3. MP3 is not illegal, it is simply an audio compression format.

MPEG:

Stands for Moving Picture Experts Group, is the name of family of standards used for coding audio-visual information (e.g., movies, video, music) in a digital compressed format.

The major advantage of MPEG compared to other video and audio coding formats is that MPEG files are much smaller for the same quality. This is because MPEG uses very sophisticated compression techniques.

If you cannot already play MPEG Video files like this one or MPEG Audio files like that one, you should install an MPEG Video Player and an MPEG Audio Player on your system.

SATELLITE:

Satellites beam data to your PC via transmission from space. You receive it on a disk like the one used for satellite TV. Top download speeds are usually around 400kbps. One of few advantages of Satellite connections is that you can live virtually anywhere and use the service, unlike Cable and DSL which is still not available in some rural areas. You can only download with the satellite service, and still must be connected to a phone line to upload, or send commands and e-mail to the internet.

Satellite subscriptions usually cost around $300-$800 to install and $20/month for 25 hours.

STREAMING VIDEO or MOVIES:

Streaming Video and/or audio plays over the Internet without downloading to the end user's computer. Think of television and radio for your computer. Streaming is different from downloading in that playback starts immediately with just a mouse click for the viewer, and the large file is not saved. Microsoft's Windows Media Player, Real Networks' RealPlayer and Apple's QuickTime are streaming "formats" designed to play streaming media on your computer. The players can be downloaded free from the respective Web sites of each company. Each format also offers a downloadable version of their encoding software to help you convert your media to a streaming format.

T1:

A T1 is a term for a line that can carry DS-1 formatted digital signals at 1.544 megabits per second. A Full T1 should accommodate from one to over 200+ users and other services from an Internet provider, depending on the needs of the users. The next step up is a T3 which can transmit data at 44.746 megabits per second.

VIDEO ON DEMAND (VOD):

Video on Demand is the long awaited Internet and Cable service of letting you watch any movie you want at any time you want. As of yet this is not available and the prospect is looming in the future, but when?

That is about to change. As of 9/01/2001, Movie studios decide to make a major push to roll out video on demand (VOD) systems via cable and the Internet over the next three years

Vivendi Universal, Bertelsmann AG and AOL Time Warner are developing new subscription models that would include full-length movies, television programming, music and radio.
