DSL is broadband. I've been using DSL for over 17 years (and, while away from home, using combinations of cable & satellite), and I watch plenty of TV & listen to plenty of music on it. It really does work great for me.

Depends on the wire length and quality. A whole lot of DSL connections can't even handle a single 1080p stream, or good quality 720p.
