Below are characteristics that suggest that you have a broadband connection:

1) You are not using a telephone modem (telephone dialup) to connect to the Internet.
2) You have Internet access 24/7.
3) Websites take seconds to be fully viewable on your computer monitor.
4) You have a box that connects to your computer as well as your telephone (DSL) or cable outlet.

If you are still unsure of whether you have a broadband Internet connection, call your Internet Service Provider (AOL, Earthlink, Cox, SBC, etc.)
