Looking for information about broadband internet providers? Look no further.

Broadband internet providers now provide internet access to more people in the UK than dial-up providers. The two major advantages of broadband internet providers over dial-up are:

• Speed - broadband internet providers generally offer speeds from 2Mb in most places up to about 24Mb in some areas. 2MB is about 40 times quicker than using a 56K dial-up connection.
• Convenience - broadband internet provides a continuous connection, so you don't need to dial-up each time you want to check your email. Broadband also means you can use the internet and telephone at the same time.
