Definitions
BIT - Binary Digit - Bits are widely used as a measurement for network
•
transmission. One hundred megabits per second means that 100 million
pulses are transmitted per second.
Broadband – Internet Connection that has a connection speed greater than
•
256kbps downstream and 64kbps upstream.
Broadband Router - A device that provides access to the Internet for
•
multiple computers, typically including a network switch with four or more
Ethernet ports for wired connections to desktop and laptop computers.
BYTE – Binary Table - Another form of measurement to determine size and
•
speed. 1 byte is equivalent to 8 Bits, so for an internet connection of
256/64kbps (kilobits per second, kilo meaning 100 units), it is roughly
equivalent to 25 Kilobytes per second (download rate) and 6 kilobytes per
second (upload rate).
Ethernet – A type of cable which is used to interconnect network devices to
•
allow communication between them over the medium.
FRESHTEL – Freshtel Internet Telephone

Freshtel – VoIP Internet Telephone Company

KBPS – Kilobits Per Second is the measurement used to determine the
•
bandwidth speed of an internet connection.
Mbps – Megabits Per Second – A unit of measurement used to show the
•
capacity and/or rate of speed for a particular medium in megabits.
MBps – Megabytes Per Second - A unit of measurement used to show the
•
capacity and/or rate of speed for a particular medium in megabytes.
NAT- Network Address Translation maintains and controls the separation of
•
a public IP address to one or more private IP addresses. Commonly used for
internet connection sharing via a router.
USB – Universal Serial Bus – A "Plug-and-Play" medium used to
•
interconnect different types of USB compatible devices to each other either
via USB 1.1 (at 12Mbps maximum transfer rate), or Hi-Speed USB 2.0 (at
480Mbps maximum transfer rate).
Wireless Broadband – Same as broadband, however is a medium
•
transmitted through radio waves set at a certain radio frequency.
Windows XP – Microsoft's current Operating System platform for PC based
•
systems.
