What is Broadband?
Broadband is a fast, permanent connection to the internet.
Not only is broadband 10 to 100 times faster then a dial-up account, it doesn't tie up the phone line so you can make and receive calls normally while you use the internet.
Broadband Internet Service Providers normally charge a flat monthly fee for a connection thats always on, so there's no need to dial in to get online. Just turn on the computer and you're connected.
Broadband is the successor to these dialup services, and there are now a vast array of internet service providers queueing up to provide us with ever faster broadband services ranging from 1mb to 22mb and more. See our comparison of Broadband providers.
