19. broadband
    Telecommunication in which a wide band of frequencies is available to transmit information. Like a highway with more lanes, broadband is broken down into various channels which allow more data to travel over the line at the same time. There is controversy over what speed is considered broadband; some say a connection of 500kbps or more.
