The basic working methodology of BROADBAND is as follows:

  1. Basically the first essential thing is the modem that is used to connect and will be attached with the users personal computer.
  2. Secondly if you want to connect to more than one telephone lines than a splitter is required that usually splits up the voice with the ADSL and makes sure that interference is not created at any level.
  3. These splitters are than connected to the telephone wires which may be above or below ground level depending upon the location. These telephone lines are connected to a DSLAM or know as telephone exchange.
  4. When the telephone line is connected to the exchange it serves the same purpose by separating the voice in the same manner as the splitter. All the DSL lines are connected to DSLAM in the telephone exchange which than passes it to multiple customers.
  5. The local exchange is like a cloud because here there are multiple tons of networks.
  6. The local exchange is connected to a gateway this is the point where all the terminals are terminated. There are different sizes of gate ways depending upon the traffic sizes. The most common gate ways that are being used are of 34MBS or of 155MBS. The 155MBS can support up to around 7000 customers.
  7. Now the ISP is connected to the gate way. It can be connected to the gateway in different ways. There are two ways in which gateway can be connected either through an Ethernet or a gigabit Ethernet. Like for example if your ISP is of around 155MBS than Ethernet wont work the only thing that will work in such case is the gigabit Ethernet.
  8. Once your ISP is connected the BROADBAND is in proper working condition.

The ordinary phone lines normally can transfer fewer amount of data from one place to another which is around 29.6kbps but as the time passed on consumers demanded a much faster and easier way for speedy data transmission so broadband fulfilled that purpose.

So if the ordinary telephone line has a single channel to carry data at the same time broadband has the ability to carry multiple channels hence transferring data at a higher speed. It’s just like a tunnel the broadband is a big tunnel that allows flow of information and telephone is a small tunnel that allows less amount of information flow.
