Please define broadband for us.  Perhaps there are multiple definitions for the word depending on what you're talking about.  I've never seen anything that says broadband == analog.
Time to move on.  Bye Amiga.org.  :(

Broadband is analogue. Baseband is digital.

broadband
 
Describes facilities or services that operate at the DS3 rate and above. For example, a Broadband DCS makes cross-connections at the DS3, STS-1, and STS-Nc levels. Similarly, Broadband ISDN provides about 150 Mb/s per channel of usable bandwidth.
