What Is Broadband?


Broadband is a better way of connecting to the Internet - it's so quick there's no more World Wide Wait.  There are 3 main points:-


1)  Broadband is so much faster it lets you get the best out of the Internet - web pages appear almost instantly, you can look at those large e-mail attachments without waiting, no more of that annoying jerkiness when watching video or listening to music on the web, or  video-conferencing. 


2)  Broadband is Always On, so you don't have to wait ages to connect to the Internet - no more delays, engaged tones or terrible screeching noises - it is always there just like turning on the lights.  You will instantly know when e-mails arrive and be able to answer them straight away.  And you may have smaller phone bills.

3)  It uses only part of the phone line so you can make or receive phone calls even if you are using the Internet, get faxes, watch Interactive TV, and much more.
