Broadband

There are a number of different broadband technologies in the UK. Traditional broadband, ADSL and ADSL2+, split a telephone line into separate voice and data channels, allowing you to make a phone call while using the Internet at the same time. ADSL offers speeds of up to 8Mbps (Megabits per second) download and up to 832Kbps (Kilobits per second) upload. ADSL2+ offers speeds of up to 24Mbps download and up to 1.4Mbps upload.

 

Fibre broadband is a newer type of broadband which uses fibre optic cables to help increase the speed of your broadband connection. Fibre optic cables are able to carry a lot more data than copper cables, especially over long distances. It is often referred to as ‘super-fast broadband’ or ‘next-generation broadband’ as it offers faster speeds than have been available to date using previous technologies.
