Connecting YOU to the World
Broadband
  Broadband refers to telecommunication in which a wide band of frequencies is available to transmit information. Because a wide band of frequencies is available, information can be multiplexed and sent on many different frequencies or channels within the band concurrently, allowing more information to be transmitted in a given amount of time (much as more lanes on a highway allow more cars to travel on it at the same time).
Web Addresses
  In the United States, there are five main web page endings. These are intended to tell you where the information you are looking at: comes from: ".edu" for educational institutions, ".gov" for government agencies, ".org" for non-profit organizations, ".com" for commercial or business sites, and ".net" for network providers. In countries outside the United States, the Web addresses end with the country’s abbreviation, such as ".jp", which means that the web site comes from the Japan.
Text Messages
  Basically your phone sends out a high frequency radio signal of data and then the person receives it. It's no different than using a walkie talkie. Instead of an analog signal though, it's digital.
Area Codes
  The above area codes are "Toll-Free" area codes. 855, 844, 833 and 822 area codes are planned but are not yet in use. These can be used for any location in the USA or Canada, therefore it is impossible to list the locations of the prefixes used in these area codes.
