Wave Broadband (stylized as wave) is an American provider of residential, business, and enterprise class cable TV, broadband internet, and telephone services in California, Oregon, and Washington.

Wave has over 427,000 customers in western Washington state, Oregon, Sacramento, California, and the San Francisco Bay Area.

Wave provides services via their own fiber-optic network and has approximately 1000 employees.

In elastodynamics, Love waves, named after Augustus Edward Hough Love, are horizontally polarized surface waves.

The Love wave is a result of the interference of many shear waves (S–waves) guided by an elastic layer, which is welded to an elastic half space on one side while bordering a vacuum on the other side.

In seismology, Love waves (also known as Q waves (Quer: German for lateral)) are surface seismic waves that cause horizontal shifting of the Earth during an earthquake.

Augustus Edward Hough Love predicted the existence of Love waves mathematically in 1911.

They form a distinct class, different from other types of seismic waves, such as P-waves and S-waves (both body waves), or Rayleigh waves (another type of surface wave).

Love waves travel with a lower velocity than P- or S- waves, but faster than Rayleigh waves.

These waves are observed only when there is a low velocity layer overlying a high velocity layer/ sub–layers.

The San Francisco Bay Area (referred to locally as the Bay Area) is a populous region surrounding the San Francisco and San Pablo estuaries in Northern California.

The region encompasses the major cities and metropolitan areas of San Jose, San Francisco, and Oakland, along with smaller urban and rural areas.

The Bay Area's nine counties are Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano, and Sonoma.

Home to approximately 7.65 million people, the nine-county Bay Area contains many cities, towns, airports, and associated regional, state, and national parks, connected by a network of roads, highways, railroads, bridges, tunnels and commuter rail.

The combined statistical area of the region is the second-largest in California (after the Greater Los Angeles area), the fifth-largest in the United States, and the 43rd-largest urban area in the world.

Oregon is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States.

Oregon is bordered on the west by the Pacific Ocean, on the north by Washington, on the south by California, on the east by Idaho, and on the southeast by Nevada.

The Columbia River delineates much of Oregon's northern boundary, and the Snake River delineates much of the eastern boundary.

The parallel 42° north delineates the southern boundary with California and Nevada.

It is one of only three states of the contiguous United States to have a coastline on the Pacific Ocean, and its proximity to the ocean heavily influences the state's mild winter climate despite its northern latitude.

Internet access is the process that enables individuals and organisations to connect to the Internet using computer terminals, computers, mobile devices, sometimes via computer networks.

Once connected to the Internet, users can access Internet services, such as email and the World Wide Web.

Internet service providers (ISPs) offer Internet access through various technologies that offer a wide range of data signaling rates (speeds).
