What is broadband?
Broadband is a new technology which can help transform the way we live, learn, work and communicate. It is an "always on" connection to the internet which is at least 10 times faster

than your PC dial up modem, which enhances opportunities for new services to be delivered to both residential and business consumers. Broadband is delivered over a standard BT telephone line – you won’t have to waste time or money getting a new line installed.

In most cases, your telephone number will remain unchanged and depending on what package you choose, and you’ll either be able to install everything yourself or have an engineer come to help you.

All you need is a computer that meets the minimum requirements, plus a broadband modem and microfilters (phone adapters).
