Broadband... what's it all about?

What is Broadband?
BROADBAND IS AN EASY-TO-INSTALL, ALWAYS ON INTERNET CONNECTION THAT GIVES YOU HIGH SPEED ACCESS AND DOWNLOADS FOR A FIXED MONTHLY CHARGE

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 quicker and more easily with broadband.

How Is Broadband Delivered?
Broadband services can be delivered in different ways- over an ordinary telephone line or private network, via a cable connection or across mobile and wireless networks. BT offers ADSL broadband services over a customer's existing BT telephone line, separating voice and data signals so you can continue to make calls when you are online.

Why Does YOU Need Broadband?
Broadband transforms the way people and businesses live, work and play together

    * Instant access saves you time and hassle dialling-up and logging on when you want to be online
    * You are always in touch with your email and messaging: friends, relatives, work mates, customers and suppliers are just a moment and a click away
    * Surfing the net becomes a pleasure as even complex and graphics-rich sites download virtually instantly
    * You can download songs and animations in seconds not minutes and video clips in minutes not hours
    * Play interactive games at top speed against gamers around the globe
    * Receive internet radio and other real time services without interruption
    * Work from home with high speed access to corporate networks
