In the UK there are a number of firms offering Broadband internet access. This is internet access that is always on and up to 20 times faster than a dial up connection. The other plus point is that Broadband allows you to free up your phone, so you can use the telephone even though someone is on the internet. You can get broadband through a cable or through your existing BT phone line.
Cable Broadband Internet Access
All the main cable companies who provide us with telephones and digital television packages offer Broadband access. If you are already signed to a cable company then it is a good idea to get broadband with them, such as Telewest or ntl.
BT Phone Broadband Internet Access
If you cannot get cable services in your area then your only choice is broadband down your existing BT phone line. In order to get Broadband in your area your local exchange must have been upgraded to handle broadband, you find out if this has happened when you try and purchase a broadband package.
Monthly broadband packages do vary in price, so find out which is best for you.
Also I would choose a package that offers a free modem and free set up.
Another point is that most broadband packages tie you into a contract for 12 months. Payment is usually taken by way of a debit or credit card monthly.
