Fast

A broadband internet connection is significantly faster than a dial-up line. Although broadband is available at a range of speeds, the standard connection is up to 10 times faster.

This extra speed allows you to receive up to 10 times more data through a broadband link than is possible, in the same amount of time, over a dial-up connection, but how does it help?

• Large files load in seconds rather than minutes
• Detailed documents, images or brochures can be emailed not posted
• Software can be upgraded in moments, including the latest virus protection files

You can see the effects that the extra speed has in our animation (to close the animation, please click on the cross on the top right of the pop up window).

In practice, if an email attachment or piece of software takes 5½ minutes to download on dial-up, it will be ready in just 19 seconds on broadband.

This extra speed allows you to:

• See high-quality movies, images and graphics
• Hold online meetings
• Use video and audio conferencing
• Introduce web-based security cameras
• Load web pages in an instant

All of which offer significant benefits to any business.
