the Internet service provider (ISP) and large organizations. NSP provides the large networks
backbone around the world. This allows for an individual connect and communicate with
groups in other ISPs around the world by using a local ISP. Network service provider is
responsible for connecting a separate computer network that became the backbone of the
global network. Backbone network is the main exchange point for connecting several
networks. Backbone is controlled by the NSP and to provide global connectivity. The network
service provider is responsible for ensuring the network is reliable and performs
better. Reliability is very important for telecommunications companies that sell network
connectivity to the customer. The Internet is a vast array of networks that are connected
using a specific Internet protocol (IP). The network is using the existing telecommunications
infrastructure that is already for several decades throughout the world. Network service
providers have access to internet service providers to provide some points of connection to
the telecommunications backbone. Most of the large companies require a
telecommunications service for phone, e-mail, and computer connectivity for
employees. Network service providers sell services to large organizations at a discounted
price. Some examples of network service providers, including Verizon, AT & T, and
Sprint. Network technology has expanded include cable, satellite, cell mobile, and standards

services provider (NSP) sell telecommunications services based on network traffic and
volume. This is known as bandwidth requirement for a network connection. A streaming
video on the Internet have significant bandwidth requirements. This bandwidth is provided by
the NSP to the ISP for customer use. Network bandwidth is usually sold with tiered pricing
specific size. Larger blocks are sold to the ISP with a discount because they require more
use overall. Internet service providers make revenue by charging customers an additional
mark-up cost for bandwidth capacity.
 However Internet service provider (ISP) is a company that provides access to
the Internet. Access ISPs connect customers to the Internet using
copper, wireless or fiber connections. Hosting ISPs lease server space for smaller
businesses and host other people servers (colocation). Transit ISPs provide large tubes for
connecting hosting ISPs to access ISPs. Therefore, broadband internet access is one of the
ISP has provide for internet user.

Broadband Internet access, often shortened to just "broadband", is a high data rate
connection to the internet and it is a term that is used consistently with different types of
internet connections. Generally, it is referred to Internet connections over fiber optic cables
rather than telephone lines. Broadband in telecommunications means a wide range of
frequencies that are available to transmit information. This eventually means that, wider the
range of frequencies available, higher the amount of information that can be sent at any
given point of time. It typically contrasted with dial-up access using a 56k modem. Dial-up
modems are limited to a bitrate of less than 56 kbit/s (kilobits per second) and it require the
dedicated use of a telephone line, whereas broadband technologies supply more than double
this rate and generally without disrupting telephone use.

There are many types of broadband internet connections. It has a few types of
broadband connections that available, some are faster than others and some are more
expensive than others to use. Your need, budget and availability will usually determine which
type of broadband internet connection is right for you. They types of broadband Internet
