What is broadband, and why does it matter to you?
Broadband is also known as high speed Internet. Broadband allows you to connect
to the World Wide Web with data transfer speeds that are significantly faster than
the speeds that dial-up access offers. High quality, reliable broadband gives you
access to a wide range of resources, services, and products that can enhance your
life and productivity in a variety of ways. For example, broadband lets you quickly
download music, games, and movies, and connect to and use Web sites that feature
interactive content, video streaming, photo storage, and much more.
If you already have broadband, you can test your speed!
We have provided a simple, fast speed test that measures your current upload and download
speeds, verifies the location of broadband availability, and helps us ensure the
accuracy of the Maryland Broadband Map.
