Benefits for home users
There are many reasons why a broadband internet connection will benefit you. Here are just a few of the benefits of high speed internet:
- Your internet connection is always on, as long as your computer is switched on
- Broadband is getting cheap! You have a predictable fixed-cost internet access - plus, just about every broadband option is based on a fixed monthly fee so you know exactly where you stand. Occasionally there are options where you pay for the time spent online and some options have a limit on the amount of information you access or download.
- Browsing around websites is fast – there is very little delay when clicking from one page to another on a website
- The fast connection opens up a new world of online shopping (at stores such as Amazon, John Lewis, Harrods and thousands of other large and small online stores)
- Downloading music (such as from Apple’s Music Store) suddenly becomes a viable option
- You can view videos online – perhaps a trailer for a new Hollywood blockbuster
- You can easily send and receive large files, such as digital photographs – even video clips!
- You can send and receive emails almost instantaneously
- Because of the way broadband works, even if it uses your telephone line it will not mean you cannot make calls – a clever splitter means you can be surfing the internet while chatting on the phone at the same time!!
