Broadband

Broadband has officially landed in the UK. It is now available to the vast majority of the UK population, offering speeds that are potentially hundreds of times as fast as a dialup modem in some areas. The increased competition in the market has also lead to superior deals for consumers, with a wide range of possible service providers on offer. Some of the leading providers of broadband include AOL Broadband, BT Broadband, and Virgin Media Broadband.

Broadband has also increasingly been linked with TV, digital and satellite services, with many companies now having combined broadband and TV packages as a central product in their ranges. These kinds of package deals can also include landline and mobile connections, potentially allowing customers to obtain an entire range of services from a single provider.

Advantages of broadband connections include:

Always-on access to the Internet, 24 hours a day and seven days a week.
No more delays while connecting, and no hogging of the phone line while the connection is active.
Super fast speeds, allowing you to download web pages, files and music in a fraction of the time of a dialup connection.
A true experience of the Internet: the information, communities and culture of the entire world only seconds away.
