Products: Why Broadband?
why is broadband better than dialup?
Unlike regular dial up internet services, ADSL provides users far greater speed and a continuous available ‘always on’ connection.
There are many reasons why people are choosing broadband for their homes and businesses:
broadband is faster
ADSL offers internet speeds of up to 350 times faster than a conventional dial up modem connection using the same phone line! This is ideal for any internet user! With a High Speed Internet Connection, you can surf the web faster, stream music and video and enjoy on-line gaming with no interruptions or unexpected disconnections.
Standard ADSL broadband allows speeds of up to 8000kbps. ADSL2+ is the technology that allows next generation broadband speeds up to a maximum of 24,000kbps - true "ultra-fast" broadband.
The faster your internet speed, the quicker you can:
- view websites
- view and download photographs emailed from family and friends
- download your critical software and anti-virus updates
- download movie and MP3 music files
- interact with websites such as youtube, myspace and facebook
broadband is always on
When your computer is on, you have internet access 24 hours a day, 7 days a week instantly. No more multiple dial up numbers to remember, and no annoying busy tones - ever.
free up the phone
Unlike dial up, when you have broadband, you can continue to surf the Net while still being able to make (or take) phone calls. You no longer have to log off your dial up connection to make a phone call, everything is more convenient and immediate.
The connection is 'always-on', so once you are logged on, your PC is online until the PC or modem is turned off again. Broadband enables both telephone calls and your permanent internet connection to operate on the same phone line simultaneously. This means that there is no longer any need for users to have two lines in the house to surf the internet; this is achieved by plugging a filter into all phone devices excluding the ADSL modem.
cut your phone bill
With a broadband connection and an ADSL modem, you can start saving money on your phone bills, not to mention saving on dial up connection costs. Check out our low cost and convenient VoIP plans to save even more!
