It's just the English term for DSL Nancy.
When we say broadband we mean an access source 'broader' or 'wider' than the old 56k modems....
True broadband is actually something we techi folk use as a term but a few years ago BT usurped it in their advertising to the general public so it caught on in the vernacular. We still get confusion when we are talking about broadband and there are 'normal' users in the meeting. We understand the term differently.

My computer was slow yesterday, it's fine again today. 
As long as it comes on when I press the on switch, that's all I need to know when I have a man who can................................work out what's wrong with it. 
If my puter is on then all is happy in annie land.
