Best For Broadband

Broadband connection speed is quite simply the speed you can download content from the internet. As broadband services have improved it’s been possible for service providers to offer faster and faster speeds with even up to 24 Megs offered by some companies.

However, it’s important to note that the speed of your connection may not be always what you have signed up to receive (a good service provider will tell you if you’re being hopeful of getting 8 Megs when your line will only manage 2!). There are a number of factors that influence the connection speed including your telephone exchange and the distance you are from it!

Very fast speeds are perhaps only really useful for gamers - the casual internet user may actually not notice too much difference between a 1 Meg connection speed and a 2 Meg speed - accept if it costs them more that is!
