What is broadband?  In this ever-converging world of telecommunications, media and technology, information can be sent to its chosen destination as phone calls, messages and downloads of one sort or another, for example, music, graphics and business information or video clips and movies.The simpler the information to be transmitted, the smaller the package of information to be delivered and the narrower the bandwidth needed to deliver it complete in a reasonable time. Ordinary voice calls, faxes, emails and simple web pages can be transmitted over low bandwidth, ordinary telephone lines with a standard 56k modem. However, more complex information requires higher bandwidth if it is to be delivered quickly and fully. Films and video contain a vast amount of visual, graphic and aural information that must be delivered continuously to allow you to receive it without interruptions or interference. This is where broadband services step in. Broadband is generally used to describe a high-speed Internet or data connection that is charged at a flat fee. To receive the full range of multimedia services - from high-speed net surfing at a fixed rate to TV and video on demand - join the Broadband world. Broadband is not a 'thing' in itself - not a box, a line, a service or a connection. For home users it is the ability to get information age services such as high speed Internet access, movies and music on demand, interactive game playing, news, leisure and travel information piped into your home at the speed you need, when you need it. The range of benefits and uses for business users can be similarly eye opening. From sharpening up your customer relationships and marketing activities to letting you directly access your corporate emails, intranets and databases, Business 1st's broadband ADSL can make a real difference to your efficiency and effectiveness at work. The Benefits of Broadband Technology  Always on, always available, always in touch; put an end to those dial-up routines and the world wide wait; the Internet at your fingertips.No extra to pay no matter how often you use it. It becomes altogether something else - the world at your fingertips. Virtually instant access to any information or service anywhere - a global library. Films, games, music and TV programmes when you want them. And your telephone line isn't affected as it operates on a different frequency. The high speed access that broadband offers transforms the on-line experience. No waiting around whilst even the simplest of websites loads line by line - with broadband, to click is to download. An end to the frustration of viewing embedded video clips as jerky and discontinuous images. No more silent cursing as yet another file transfer takes so long that your computer crashes or the line hangs up. Broadband delivers the immediacy the internet has always promised. |
