broad band is just the same. The only difference is that instead of your 56 kbps modem, you'll have an ADSL modem or router. With adsl you'll also have to install a small microfilter in each telephone. A microfilter is like a little wire extension that you have to place between the phone line and the phone itself. It's very easy, don't worry about that. If you have to install it yourself, they (AOL) will give you detailed instructions and if someone is going to your house to make the installation, s/he'll do all for you
