Answer 2

Simply put,
Broadband is a transmission medium capable of supporting a wide range of frequencies, typically from audio up to video frequencies. It can carry multiple signals by dividing the total capacity of the medium into multiple, independent bandwidth channels, where each channel operates only on a specific range of frequencies.
OR
A way of transmitting large amounts of data, voice, and video that is greater than telephony networks. In ISDN, broadband channels support rates above the primary rate (1.544 Mbps or 2.048 Mbps). (See wideband and narrowband)


While, DSL which means Digital Subscriber Line, is # A technology for enabling high speed information transfer to end users over ordinary copper telephone lines. xDSL refers to different variations of DSL, such as ADSL, HDSL, iDSL and RADSL. DSL offers data download rates up to 6 Mbps, dependant on the variant supplied and distance from the nearest DSL service provider's exchange. Distance limitations are generally around the 4 mile mark and apply to the actual cable length from the exchange to the end user premises.
OR
DSL is a common residential broadband connection. It assumes digital data does not require change into analog form and back. With a DSL modem, digital data is transmitted to a computer directly without conversion, which allows the telecommunications company to use a much wider bandwidth for transmitting it to their customer, resulting in higher maximum data transfer rates. Typical maximum data transfer rates are generally 384 Kbps for downloads and 128 Kbps for uploads.
