Why would I need Broadband?
Broadband is a high-speed Internet connection that provides a large bandwidth. It is an "always-on" type of connection and can transmit data at a much faster rate than a dialup connection. Broadband also has the added advantage of not tying up your phone line, which means you can use the both the Internet and telephone at the same time.
What can I do with a broadband connection?
Everything you can do with a dial-up connection – only faster. You can download films, download files, share photographs, make full use of your webcam and make telephone calls for free, over the ‘net.
