What is 'broadband' and is it different from DSL and cable?
I keep seeing the word 'broadband' in ads but I'm not sure if it's a specific type of internet or a general term. Is DSL broadband? Is cable broadband? My phone company keeps saying 'broadband internet' like it's its own thing. Can someone clear this up for me?

I'd wait a few months before jumping on this. New technology always has bugs and the price drops fast. Remember how DVD players were $600 and now they're $40? Let the early adopters work out the kinks and pay full price.
It depends a lot on your connection speed. If you're still on dial-up, some of this just isn't going to work well no matter what. Broadband makes a night-and-day difference. Is DSL or cable available in your area yet?
