What are some of the advantages of using a broadband connection to download something like a video compared to dial up?

The broadband connection can transfer more amounts of information therefore downloading a video at a faster speed. Dial  up cannot transfer the same amount of information that broadband can, as it doesn't have a wide range of frequencies that can be transmitted through the internet. Another advantage of broadband internet is that you can still speak on the phone while on the internet. When you are connected to a dial up connection, if you want to speak on the phone while connected to it, it will not work.
