Broadband speed
Broadband comes in many different speeds, that is the speed with which data travels up and down your phone line or cable network. The standard entry level is now 1Mb, this is 20X faster than a dial-up internet connection.

Other lower speeds are offered such as 150Kbps (3X faster than a dial-up) and 256Kbps (5X faster than a dial-up) although 1Mb is generally accepted as the standard.

Although 1Mb is the standard entry level 2Mb (40X faster than dial-up) is becoming cheaper and cheaper and we think this will become the entry level very soon. With 2Mb broadband you can do everything that you ever wanted to do on the internet, pages load almost instantly and online game playing is awesome.

If you are looking to experience the full potential of broadband than a 2Mb connection is essential. Movies, online-gaming and instant access to pictures and words are at your fingertips.

There are also other speeds available such as 4Mb and 8Mb and with the roll out of ADSL2+ 22Mb.
