Broadband internet services are typically provided by cable or phone companies, as well as by newer companies that specialize in providing high-speed internet access. These services can be delivered through a variety of technologies, including fiber optic cables, digital subscriber lines (DSL), cable modems, and satellite connections.

One of the key benefits of broadband internet services is their ability to deliver much faster internet speeds than older dial-up services. While dial-up connections typically offer speeds of around 56 kilobits per second (kbps), broadband services can deliver speeds of several megabits per second (Mbps) or even faster.
