Remember when the internet arrived? There were a lot of promises made about what it could do. Everyone remembers them… we'd all be doing our shopping over the web within weeks, watching videos online, accessing content that would change our lives. And then came the reality- never ending waits for connection accompanied by a screeching dial tone, plodding downloads and disconnection at the crucial moment when somebody picked up the phone. Downloading video? It took long enough to download a simple page let alone a movie or a piece of music. |

In the end we all grew a little wiser, said that in future we'd be a little more careful about believing the claims of a bespectacled multibillionaire from Seattle and got down to using the internet to find out the price of holidays. What was supposed to change our lives just ended up being a handy but fairly unimpressive tool. |

And then came Broadband. |

Broadband is a high bandwidth Internet connection that allows you to send and receive information up to 10 times faster than a standard telephone based Internet connection. Which means that you can receive video quick enough to be able to watch it as your computer receives it. You can access applications that allow you to exchange music with people on the other side of the world that, over an old-style narrowband connection, would take an age. For those looking to take courses from home or to get access to medical or legal services the possibilities are enormous as sophisticated content is now readily available within seconds. |

And for businesses, there is no better way to explain the importance of broadband than this: by adopting broadband you will make more money, you will save money and your work will become easier and more efficient if it is correctly integrated into your business. No more internet call charges, and unmetered flat rates means an instant saving. The ability to send and receive huge files means that your customer and supplier interaction can be instant, pushing your capacity for efficiency into another dimension. |
