I'm female.

We dont understand technology or cars, its a fact. We can cook, multi task and generally communicate better than men, but we rely on you for the aforementioned examples above.

I know broadband makes things download faster but what else? Basically does it just mean the information comes to your computer faster than with a dial up modem, like what I am using now?

Does broadband come in different speeds? Like you can get 28 k b s modems and 56 k b s modems and I think you can get 128 k b s modems too, so does broadband vary in its speeds also?

Explain it to me please because I am considering getting it but would like to know more before I do!

128KB only counts as broadband because you can't stuff that much data down a phone line :)

It's hardly an impressive bandwidth though, really.
