Broadband definition causes confusion

My first go at definition:
Always on, high speed (minimum 35KB/s) downloads, wireless or fixed line, no cap at a comparative (overseas) price.
 
Wikipedia?

I think people in this thread are missing the point and miscited the Wikipedia (which should not really be used as an authority but rather a point of access)
Has that quote gone missing from this thread?
 
Telkom does not guarantee any min speeds, so can any of their adsl products be classed as broadband?
 
As RichardP pointed out - even your analogue tel line pre ADSL is broadband - since it accomodates multiple frequencies. :D
 
Just an update in re my complaint to ASA.

They have sent a response acknowleding receipt of the complaint, assigning it a complaint number and a few other misc things. The bulk of the response has come to me as a pdf and there is a standard confidentiality disclaimer in the document so I've asked if I can make it public. On the whole Im quite impressed.

For reference purposes I believe the reference is:
TELKOM ADSL / P HJUL / 8238

I assume it has
 
Whats your complaint?
(Summary and ref number - we should probably do a bit of effort joining)
 
Lol - mine was lodged over six months ago - I gave up and have lost those details unfortunately... they may be around somewhere still, but I will have to look. My complaint was about the claims made in an old ad about downloading movies in seconds etc. etc. with telkom broadband - and it being the cheapest fixed line operator or something like that.
