Internet

 High-speed transmission. The term commonly refers to Internet access via a variety of high-speed networks, including cable, DSL, FiOS, Wi-Fi, WiMAX, 3G, 4G and satellite, all of which are faster than analog dial-up by a huge magnitude.

The term is sometimes used to contrast broadband providers with private networks, such as in the phrase "public broadband works for regular traffic in our branch offices, but we use private lines for our mission critical business."
