How it's used

Broadband is primarily used to describe fixed line home internet services rather than mobile data plans. While technically referring to high speed connections, it is now the standard term for any wired internet service provided by an ISP. People often use it interchangeably with just saying internet or wifi when discussing home connectivity.

Common mistake

Do not use this word to refer to mobile data plans on your phone, as those are usually called 流動數據. Using 寬頻 for mobile internet can sound confusing to native speakers.
