What is the difference between Broadband and DSL?

We do consider ourselves experts on most subjects related to broadband and often get asked the question, “What is the difference between Broadband and DSL?” - I guess this because the most technical ISP’s describe their “Internet” offering as ADSL or “asynchronous digital subscriber line” where as the packages aimed at home users, they simply call it “Broadband”

Well, the answer, there is absolutely no difference, Broadband and ADSL are completely one in the same. There are no differences whatsoever.

Please note that although there is no difference between a Broadband Connection and an ADSL Connection, the speed of either your ADSL or Broadband connections are variable from 512kb up to 16MB. But this is a difference in speed only, not the actual “type” of service.

Hope that clears it up!
