The Internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks that interchange data by packet switching using the standardized Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP). It is a "network of networks" that consists of millions of private and public, academic, business, and government networks of local to global scope that are linked by copper wires, fiber-optic cables, wireless connections, and other technologies.

The Internet carries various information resources and services, such as electronic mail, online chat, file transfer and file sharing, online gaming, and the inter-linked hypertext documents and other resources of the World Wide Web (WWW).

Broadband Internet access, often shortened to just broadband, is high-speed Internet access—typically contrasted with dial-up access over a modem.

Dial-up modems are generally only capable of a maximum bitrate of 56 kbit/s (kilobits per second) and require the full use of a telephone line—whereas broadband technologies supply at least double this speed and generally without disrupting telephone use. (Though the opposite word for broadband is not dial up, it is used here for practical understanding purposes only.)

"Broadband" refers to high-speed Internet connections that allow for transfers of information at rates far faster than those of dial-up modems
A broadband connection (ADSL) provides high-speed Internet access over a standard phone line. The advantage of a broadband connection over a standard dialup service, is that Broadband is considerably faster, and is 'always-on', meaning that once you're logged on, your PC is online until the PC is turned off again.

Broadband offer high-speed Internet access and allows telephone calls and a permanent Internet connection to share a single phone line simultaneously.
Transfer speeds for Broadband are up to 50 times faster than via dial-up modems, creating the opportunity for people to download mp3s (compressed digital audio files) or films without having to wait for hours.
Broadband connections are offered on a variety of platforms, including DSL (Digital Subscriber Line), cable, satellite, and wireless.
above 128Kbps will considered as Boradband range

broadband - describes a high speed network connection or data connection to the Internet. To qualify as broadband, a connection must transmit data faster than is possible with a dial up connection through a standard modem and telephone line. Cable modems and DSL are common examples of broadband Internet connections.
Internet - Originally, a link between ARPANET, NSFnet and other networks. Today, a worldwide network of networks.

Hope you would like to know the difference between 'Broadband Internet' and 'Dial-up' connection as Broadband is a class of Internet itself. Right? Broadband Internet access, often shortened to just broadband, is high-speed Internet access—typically contrasted with dial-up access over a modem.

Dial-up modems are generally only capable of a maximum bitrate of 56 kbit/s (kilobits per second) and require the full use of a telephone line—whereas broadband technologies supply at least provides 4times of this speed and generally without disrupting telephone use. (Though the opposite word for broadband is not dial up, it is used here for practical understanding purposes only.) Although anything ranging from 64Kbps to 8Mbps considered as broadband, in India as per the regulations, only download speeds equal to or faster than 256Kbps considered as broadband.

Dial-up Internet uses a phone line to access the Internet. Your computer uses its modem to make a standard call to an Internet Service Provider, which then connects you to the WWW. Whereas Broadband is provided in a number of ways - over a phone line, by cable, wirelessly, or by satellite - depending on your location. Many new types of enriched content will not work over dial-up. Or they will be of low quality or take a long time to download. Broadband is becoming a necessity for being online. As it becomes more affordable and its performance increases it will become the main way of accessing the Internet.

An internet is a global network connecting millions of computers. More than 100 countries are linked into exchanges of data, news and opinions.Today, the Internet is a public, cooperative, and self-sustaining facility accessible to hundreds of millions of people worldwide. Physically, the Internet uses a portion of the total resources of the currently existing public telecommunication networks.

Broadband refers to telecommunication in which a wide band of frequencies is available to transmit information. Because a wide band of frequencies is available, information can be multiplexed and sent on many different frequencies or channels within the band concurrently, allowing more information to be transmitted in a given amount of time (much as more lanes on a highway allow more cars to travel on it at the same time). Related terms are wideband (a synonym), baseband (a one-channel band), and narrowband (sometimes meaning just wide enough to carry voice, or simply "not broadband," and sometimes meaning specifically between 50 cps and 64 Kpbs).
