I'll let a techie explain..

but basically when you were on dialup you were probably tootling along at about 56kilobits per second..broadband started at 512 kbps and now is generally available at a huge 1Megabps..or even 2..which used to be roughly what a corporate would buy for dedicated access.. so it's faster than what you've got..
