Broadband Broadband ADSL Lite is a variant of ADSL that typically delivers a slower data transfer rate at a lower price to the end user. ADSL Lite is a lower standard used more often in developing countries, such as Malaysia (and Serbia), where the main consumer broadband is provided by Telekom Malaysia under the brand streamyx. This is the most cost effective way to provide a form of affordable broadband to a country with a lower standard of living than typical G7 countries. It uses ADSL Modulation T1_413, has a downstream data rate of 1024 kbit/s, and upstream data rate of 384 kbit/s. Since the technology doesn't require a splitter, an ADSL Lite modem can simply be plugged into a phone jack directly. ...more on Wikipedia about "ADSL Lite"

Broadband Internet access, often shortened to "broadband Internet" or just "broadband" is a high data-transmission rate internet connection. DSL and cable modem, both popular consumer broadband technologies, are typically capable of transmitting 256 kilobits per second or more, approximately nine times the speed of a modem using a standard digital telephone line. ...more on Wikipedia about "Broadband Internet access"
Broadband open access is an issue of policy debate in telecommunications, regarding whether or not companies which own broadband telecommunication infrastructure (such as cable operators) should be required to provide access to their facilities for competing businesses which do not own physical infrastructure. The issue came to the fore in the U.S. in 1998, when AT&T announced its plan to acquire TCI, then the nation's largest cable operator. It involved municipal and local governments, the courts, Federal Communications Commission (the FCC), Congress, businesses, industry associations, consumer advocacy groups, and many others. Similar issues arose in other countries such as the Netherlands, Hungary, and Canada. ...more on Wikipedia about "Broadband open access"

Broadband Telephony is the utilisation of broadband connections to deliver voice calls. Typically, services are hosted, meaning customers enjoy traditional phone functionality without the need to purchase a phone system at all. Calls are transmitted as IP Packets to the host company, where they either 'break out' to the public networks, or continue as IP calls across the Internet. ...more on Wikipedia about "Broadband telephony"
A cable modem is a special type modem that is designed to modulate a data signal over cable television infrastructure. Cable modems are primarily used to deliver broadband Internet access, taking advantage of unused bandwidth on a cable television network. There were 22.5 million cable modem users in the United States during Q1 2005. That's up from 17.4 million in Q1 2004. It is also commonly found in Canada and Latin America. ...more on Wikipedia about "Cable modem"

The Digibox is a device marketed by British Sky Broadcasting in the UK to enable home users to receive digital satellite television broadcasts ( satellite receiver). An internet service is also available through the device, similar in some ways to the American MSN TV. The first Digiboxes shipped to consumers in mid- 1998, and the hardware reference design is unchanged since. The units are DVB-S compatible, and usually carry the DVB logo on the front. However, their use as a DVB-S receiver for anything other than Sky services is seriously limited by their reduced choice of symbol rates (22,000 and 27,500), and their inability to store more than about 20 non-EPG channels without losing them. ...more on Wikipedia about "Digibox (Sky Television)"

A Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM) is a network device, usually located at a telephone company central office, or within a neighborhood SAI as part of a digital loop carrier, that receives signals from multiple customer Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) connections and aggregates the signals on a high-speed backbone line using multiplexing techniques. Depending on the product, DSLAM multiplexers connect DSL lines with some combination of asynchronous transfer mode (ATM), frame relay, or Internet Protocol networks. ...more on Wikipedia about "Digital subscriber line access multiplexer"

A digital tuner is a tuning device that allows a television or radio set to receive signals via airwaves, satellite, or cable and translates them into a signal the device can display. A tuner is useful for receiving digital broadcasts over the air or via satellite and displaying it on a high definition television or standard definition television digital television set. Tuners are also used in radio receivers to tune in radio stations digitally (0.1 MHz increments in the US), as opposed to analog dialing. Radio signals can also be received by digital radio tuners, which receive audio signals via satellite. ...more on Wikipedia about "Digital tuner"

A DSL filter is an analog low-pass filter installed on telephones and other analog devices to prevent interference between such devices and Digital Subscriber Line service operating on the same line. Without the installation of DSL filters, high-frequency signals from analog devices can result in reduced performance and connection problems with DSL service, and the high-frequency signals from the DSL service can result in line noise and other issues for analog devices. ...more on Wikipedia about "DSL filter"
