Much like a chick band or girl band, the BroadBand is a musical ensemble comprised of mostly women - who are old enough to buy their own gear and know how to use it.
They are the next generation of the riot grrrls in the digital age.
BroadBands: L7, Hole, Le Tigre, Bikini Kill, Pussycat Trash, Babes in Toyland, Heavens to Betsy, Voodoo Queens, High Heels Lo Fi, The Butchies, and many, many more!

A relationship with a member of opposite sex.
Verb: "to have broadband" is to be having a relationship.
It is effectively an analogy for relationships, with all things related to it corresponding to different parts of the analogy. "Service provider" being the girl or boy you are with, "56k" is being not quite there yet, "laying cables" - meeting new people etc.
(So as to be discreet, a real company with the same initials as the girl or boy you fancy can be used in conversation, see below)
"You got broadband yet?" "Nah, I'm still on 56k"
"Hows your broadband coming along?" "Slowly, I'm still looking for service providers..." "I thought you fancied Virgin Media?" "Nah, he stopped liking Vicky May ages ago!"
