What is Broadband internet?
Until recently most home and small business internet
users have connected using a telephone line and a
modem. This dial up internet works fine but has many
disadvantages:
As websites have become more complex they take
longer to download. Modems work at up to 56kbps, but
often slower due to the quality of your phone line.
BROADBAND Will give you near Instant web page
download.
Your phone line is in use all the time you are
connected so you can't use your phone for calls, or
you need a second line.
BROADBAND will give you
a Second phone line so No more missed
calls.
Using dial up internet can be
expensive due to the 'pence per minutes' charging.
Broadband prices are getting cheaper from as
low as £20 a month, remember this will give you a
Second Phone line aswell as super fast downloads 24hrs
a day.
If you have a PC Playing modern games online using
a 56k modem is nearly impossible, and you will always
loose against anyone with a Broadband connection, no
matter how good you are. And remember if you have a
Playstation 2 or an X Box you will need
Broadband to play games online as a 56k just is not
good enough!!!
BROADBAND will give you super
fast gameplay NO Jittery moments, and lots of
fun.
Modems take a time to dial and connect so the job
of 'just checking my email' can take several minutes.
BROADBAND is connected 24 hours a day.
The solution to these problems is broadband. A term
which describes fast always-on internet services.
Broadband can be delivered using several different
methods or technologies, see how can I get
it?
