Why have broadband?

Broadband gives you a permanent, ‘always on’ connection AND you can use the phone at the same time.

This means you don’t need to wait for a phone call to be finished or wait to log on each time you want to go online. You can talk while you surf.

And with broadband, you can get up to 8Mb download speeds*, which means you can do so much more than with a dial-up connection.

* Top speeds depend on a number of factors including distance from exchange, local availability and line test.
