Looks like
band
band (music group, a strip, bandwidth colloquially)
⚠️ The trap
'Banda larga' = broadband. 'Banda' alone = band (music) or gang. 'Banda larga' is NOT 'large band' — it means broadband. Learners sometimes translate 'broadband' as *'banda ampia'* which is incorrect; the fixed term is 'banda larga'.
To say "band (music group, a strip, bandwidth colloquially)" in Italian:
banda
"banda" in English means:
bandwidth (banda larga = broadband); also: band (music), gang, stripe
Example
"Il provider offre una banda di 1 gigabit al secondo."
"The provider offers a bandwidth of 1 gigabit per second."
