I'm a little confused about the difference between baseband and broadband...

I realize that with baseband transmission only one frequency is USED, where in broadband multiple frequencies are used...

But say your ISP is using 1000BaseLX cable as the backbone CABLING to get service to your house...     The word "Base" in the name 1000BaseLX implies that baseband is used doesn't it?  So how would your ISP get broadband (simultaneous multiple signals) to your house if they are using a baseband type of cable

I know I'm missing something here..     Can 1000BaseLX cable be used as broadband cable as well as baseband Good questions.  You might want to read &GT;this Wikipedia article<, which describes how mordern telcos multiplex internet connections over their fibre networks (which partially answers your QUESTION).  You'll also need to read up on DSLAMs to get the complete picture.  As for 1000BaseLX - never heard of it by the way - in the UK, at least, regular copper or aluminium cabling takes the signals from the exchange to the customer's premises and the DSL signal is "fiddled with" by a "splitter card" at a distribution BOX along the way to the customer's premises.  I've been reading up on this a bit having had major ADSL problems over the last month, but I must confess my picture is no means complete, and very UK-centric.aHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The disembodied head is back.......................RUN FOR IT!!!     



anyway, thanks RobPleasure.
