Is Broadband For You?

Q: What is broadband, and as an independent agent, how can it help my business?

A: Technically, broadband is the transmission of electronic information at very high speed, generally 128Kbs (kilo-bits per second) or higher. Agents who use broadband to connect to the Internet enjoy a much, much faster connection than those who use an old-fashioned telephone modem. In fact, a broadband connection can be several times faster than a standard 56K dial-up modem.
