Broadband is just a word we use when we’re talking about any kind of fast Internet connection. It’s as simple as that.

If you’re reading this guide, the chances are that you already have an Internet connection and want to upgrade, or you’re setting up an Internet connection at home for the first time.

If you already have an Internet connection, you probably connect to the Internet with a modem that plugs into your telephone line (often referred to as a “dial-up connection”). And you’re probably no longer satisfied with the performance it offers.

If you’re setting up an Internet connection for the first time, it really makes sense to go for Broadband right from the start, as the entry-level packages are generally much better value than the dial-up alternative.
