Compare Best Home Broadband Providers in the UK

What is Broadband?

Put simply, Broadband is high-speed internet access. Currently in the UK, Broadband services can be delivered in 2 ways:

ADSL Broadband (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) uses your standard BT telephone line to provide you with an always-on internet connection.

Cable Broadband utilises the NTL and Telewest cable network to provide you with an always-on internet connection.
 

The most important advantage is the increase in download speed over a standard dial-up connection.

Broadband is available from 512k (10x faster then standard dial-up) up to 8mb (80x faster than standard dialup) - this means no more waiting around for mp3's or video clips to download!

The connection is always on - so no need to dial up to get online.

You can use your phone line at the same time as using the broadband service, so no more engaged tones when using the internet !

There are no call charges for internet usage, everything is covered by one fixed monthly payment.
