Q. What is Broadband or ADSL?

A. ADSL stands for Asymetrical Digital Subscriber Line.

Broadband is a more common name for ADSL and is the next generation in internet connection. Depending on the type of broadband access that you have, it is up to a minimum of 10 times faster than a dial up internet connection

There are many different service providers on the market today, some of them you may have heard of like, Telstra Bigpond, Iprimus, Optusnet, Hotkey.... the list could go on. It is important that you do your research before selecting a provider. Things to take into consideration are

1) Length of Contract (Usually 24 Months)

(The longer the contract usually you pay less fees at startup and can recieve a free modem)

2) Download Limits and Extra Charges

(Usually the cheaper plans have hidiously expensive excess usage, so the ISP (Internet Service Provider) makes extra money from you once you go over the specified limit)

3) Technical Support Assistance

(Sometimes the ISP is great when they want you to pay your money but when it comes to support they definately lack something) eg. Not there on weekends or take too long to answer the phone?
