Q: What units are used to measure bandwidth?
A: Kilobits per second (Kb/s)
Q: How much faster is broadband than dial-up?
A: 10 times faster than dial up.
Q: What are the speeds that broadband operates at compared to dial up?
A: 512Kbps, 1Mb broadband, 2Mb broadband, 4Mb broadband, 8Mb broadband, 24Mb broadband, 50Mb broadband.
Q: What are some advantages of using broadband connection to download something like a video compared to dial up?
A: The video will load faster. The video loads through some data coming to your computer at a time. Broadband had greater bandwidth and therefore more data will be downloaded at once than a dial up connection.
Q: Create an image in paint that illustrates how a high bandwidth connection can move more data compared to a dial up connection at a given time.
