Simplifying 'broadband'?

Recently, a number of advertising billboards have proclaimed a new 'simplified' approach for one of South Africa's internet provider companies. The slogan reads 'broadband simplified'. The problem?
I asked a couple of people to define broadband - none of them could. Granted those I asked are techno-novices (even self-proclaimed technophobes) but aren't these the kind of people that this campaign is targeted at?
