What is Broadband?

Strange question, I know but I hear a lot of different phrases used when referring to broadband, usually related to its speed (highspeed broadband, super-high speed broadband etc.) but without offering an idea of what speeds that phrase is really referring to. So I thought it might be useful to bring a little clarity to this. Here is my attempt, what do you think?

Broadband Line rate in excess of 256 kbit/s
High-speed Broadband Line rate in excess of 2Mbit/s
Super-high-speed Broadband Line rate in excess of 10Mbit/s
Ultra-high-speed Broadband Line rate in excess of 100Mbit/s

I am also going to start using a new phrase: unlimited broadband. I think that better captures the sentiment of what we are trying to achieve.
