BT Broadband

*Background* My Partner recently started work as a web programmer, so we decided that we needed a reliable, and fast connection to the Internet, to enable him to work from home. We also wanted to take advantage of the many websites, allowing you to download game, movies and music. We opted to use Broadband, as we needed a more reliable service than the standard 56kbps dial-up service. Basically broadband is a high-speed connection to the Internet that is active 24hours a day. It has a large capacity to send and receive files from the Internet and is considered to be a much faster service than ... more

Internet access is becoming one of those necessary evils, something most of us (who already have it) would be hard pressed to live without. But getting on-line has always been a rather complicated business, all that farting around dialling a service provider only to be kicked off a few minutes later. WHY DO I NEED BROADBAND?

After yet another tiresome and bloody awful year with BT on option 2 broadband we have finally dumped them for Virgin.

I’ve been on the internet now at home for almost five years, and in all that time I’ve suffered the use of a 56kbps dial-up connection. When I started my job three years ago and experienced the delights of a super-fast broadband connection, I vowed I would switch to broadband at home at the earliest opportunity. Well, three years is a pretty long time but finally I have made the switch. And though there were some teething troubles, it has been one of the best purchases of the year so far. ** CHOOSING A PROVIDER ** Having been with Freeserve (now Wanadoo) for years, the natural place for me to ... more
