why yes, we are in a classroom

I have two options today, to narrate a sideshow OR define things. I think I'll go with defining things. Now what may you be asking ? Do I hear broadband? Broadband is a type of data transmission in which a single medium or wire if you will, can carry several channels at once. Cable TV, for example, uses broadband transmission which can transmit data, audio, and video all at once over long distances. Now you may be asking what units are used to measure bandwidth ? or not. well its a gigabyte or better known as a GB. And now...How much faster is broadband then dial up? broadband is an average of nine times faster then dial up. That is quite a big difference if you ask me. It's kind of funny that people get annoyed because I don't number the questions making it harder for them (not) to copy my answers. So this is for you. Number 4. What are the speeds that broadband operates at compared to dial up? ummm, it really depends how fast your broadband is, but lets just say very fast. Number 5. What are some of the advantages of using a broadband connection to download something like a video compared to dial up? because broadband is faster, and more convenient. Number 6. awwww. I am meant to create an image in paint that illustrates a high bandwidth. I don't want to. I'll just do it later.
Australian Bureau of Statistics.
A) how many people subscribed to the Internet in 2007? wow, I didn't even know you could subscribe to the Internet, I always thought it was just always there. my bad. well, I got 7,105 but I'm not sure if its right..sorry. Also 965 of these were used for businesses and government use, while and 6,140 were for household uses and 9,849 more people use broadband than dial up.
B) I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know, ohh wait, yes i do. the computer i am on right now is 4.23mb/s from the computer to sydney on the map compared to the 4.14 mb/s. (did that make any sense? probably not, sorry),
C) ummm, the data transfer rate varies as in terms i can understand, it is like a traffic jam as there are too many lanes converging into a smaller number in rush hour traffic, which i do imagine would definatly slow things down.
