What is broadband internet - Is it for me and where can I sign up?

To be honest broadband is just the word which people use to refer to high-speed Internet access. If you have never used high-speed Internet before you will find broadband to be very convenient and enjoyable. It's actually very easy-to-use and it's much better than using dial-up connection. Once you've used broadband I doubt you'll be able to go back to a dial-up connection again. These days broadband services can be as cheap as a dial-up. So there is no reason to sign up for a dial-up connection when you can get broadband for almost the same price or even cheaper.

Apart from the fact that broadband is faster it is not very different from a dial-up connection. Of course the equipment is different and it will use a modem and in many cases you will still have to connect through a telephone line. The only exception to this is when use mobile broadband. With mobile broadband you do not need a BT line in order to connect. The big difference is that your broadband connection is always on every day 24 hours a day unless of course you switch it off. Most companies charge a flat monthly fee for broadband usage although they may change you a bit more if you use up your download allowance. In terms of surfing the Internet and doing things online a broadband connection is far much better and faster. You will be able to do a lot more than you could ever do with a dial-up connection.

You will be able to watch video clips, watch live broadcast on television, download music, software, movie trailers and other files. You'll also be able to play video games.
