Broadband ADSL is a new way of transferring data at high speed over existing telephone copper wire.
This is a type of Digital Subscriber Line and works by splitting your existing telephone line signal into two, one for voice and the other for data. It is up to 40 times faster than dialup connections.
By upgrading your line to carry digital signals instead of the current analogue system it becomes capable of carrying data at a much higher rate than ever before.
It is always on, there are no extra charges or waiting to connect. You do not need to 'dial up'. Instead, the broadband line is always connected, like your water supply or electricity.
You can make or receive phone calls while on the internet.
You can do new things like catch up with TV and radio programs, make video calls, run web servers and easily work from home.
Prices start at £10 per month, less than BT, AOL and Freeserve dialup packages and much cheaper than two phone lines.
You do not need a computer to benefit. Watch films and TV programs when you like. Use video phones, Xbox and Playstation 2 games with broadband.
