Broadband
why is it so damn good?
It's fast - nearly 10 times faster than conventional 'dial up' connections from
your computer to the Internet, so you receive the information you have requested quicker.
High speed modems allowing you to connect at speeds up to 512 kbps compared to standard
modem speeds of 56 kbps. New broadband services are already being developed which are up
to 20 times faster.
Always on - this means that you are permanently connected to the internet and don't
need to dial up a connection every time you want to surf the web, send email etc.
Flat rate - there will be no additional charges for the time you are online. You
can use it as much or as little as you would like for a fixed fee.
Dedicated connection - this means your telephone line will not be busy if you are
using the Internet.
Are all broadband connections the same?
Whilst all broadband connections offer the same benefits they will offer slightly
different ways in which you will access the services. These options are:
ADSL - Know in full as Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL), this is the
technology that has been developed for enabling broadband connections using existing
telephone networks. A modification of your telephone connection point will be required to
install this service and you will require a high speed modem. Your broadband service
provider will advise you whether the telephone exchange you are connected to can receive
this service. Click here to

Cable - This requires a special cable connection to be installed into your house.
You may already have a cable connection to receive your television of telephone service.
The service providers will help you to establish whether you live in an area which can
receive a broadband cable service. You will also need a special cable modem.
