Business ADSL usually has better contention rates than home.

Most buiness's i would say have leased lines tho.

nope, you would call it a "leased line"

If they have a business broadband solution in place, you would call it broadband.

you can't call leased line broadband, as you can have a 64kb leased line too.

Broadband is ADSL / Cable, nothing else really ?

you do have a point there but does anyone actually still use these?

at the end of the day, as described by Dave, a Large Corporate connection could be called broadband. It's certainly not going to be narrowband..... especially where he works.

All good thanks Dave Hope it's all going well for you too mate!
