It requires a DSL modem, which splits transmissions into two frequency bands: the lower frequencies for voice (ordinary , cable, and wireless connectivity services. This gives next-generation service providers a significant advantage because it allows them to capitalize on the tremendous growth in broadband services without requiring the significant investment in equipment traditionally needed to aggregate DSL subscriber traffic. ATM is the underlying transport technology of choice for next-generation broadband Internet access Broadband Internet access, often shortened to just "broadband", is high speed Internet access—typically contrasted with dial-up access over 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 .
