==The term broadband==
Originally the word "[[broadband]]" had a technical meaning, but became a marketing term for any kind of relatively high-speed computer network or Internet access technology.
According to the [[IEEE 802.16|802.16-2004]] standard, broadband means "having instantaneous [[Bandwidth (signal processing)|bandwidths]] greater than 1 [[MHz]] and supporting [[bit rate|data rates]] greater than about 1.5 [[Megabit|Mbit]]/s."<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20101128003557/http://standards.ieee.org/about/get/802/802.16.html Coexistence of Fixed Broadband Wireless Access Systems]</ref>
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) recently re-defined the word to mean download speeds of at least 25 [[Megabit|Mbit]]/s and upload speeds of at least 3 [[Megabit|Mbit]]/s.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.theverge.com/2015/1/29/7932653/fcc-changed-definition-broadband-25mbps|title = The FCC has changed the definition of broadband|date = January 29, 2015}}</ref>
