What is Broadband?

Broadband is the common term for a high bandwidth internet connection – one that can transmit or download information up to 40 times as fast as a standard telephone and modem. You can do everything you need to do online more quickly and more easily with broadband.

• Talk and surf at the same time on the same line
• Instantly access the Internet whenever you like
• Send and receive attachments more easily
• View web content up to 10 to 40 times faster than before

Always On, Always In Touch
Broadband services put an end to the dull routine of using a dial-up connection via a telephone modem and the need to repeat the process every time the connection fails. With broadband, when you’re switched on, you’re always online, with virtually instant access to any information or service and because broadband splits your existing telephone line, you can make and take voice calls as normal even when you are online – no more frustrating engaged tones for your customers and suppliers.

Going Global
With your own interactive website and multiple email addresses you can improve your image and the way you deal with your existing customers, as well as more effectively market and sell your goods and services to a global audience.

Predictable Costs
Fixed monthly charges are the norm with broadband services so there is no extra to pay no matter how often you use it. By using an Applications Service Provider you could better manage the costs and improve the functionality and security of your business software, leasing it online.

Simple Installation
Straightforward self-install connections for broadband in the home now come as standard from many service providers so you don’t waste time hanging around waiting for an engineer’s visit.

Working From Home
Fast, direct access to your corporate networks and files as easily as if you were in the office. And as you can be online and on the phone at the same time, you can use videoconferencing to play a full part on projects and in meetings.

High Speed Access & Downloads
Bring an end to the world wide wait for even the simplest website to appear - with downloads at up to 10 times the speed you can get via a standard telephone and modem, surfing the net becomes fun not frustrating. Download music faster than you can play it. Finding, checking out and downloading animations, graphics and video, and movie, news and sports clips is quicker and easier.
