High-speed,
low-latency, always-on Internet!
Broadband is the
next-generation Internet access method, which uses an existing BT
phone line to carry data many times faster than traditional 56k
methods. The connection is constant, users do not have to waste
time dialling-up to connect, there are no cut-off times and
because ADSL is digital it does not affect the analogue phone
signal, meaning no more missed calls.
The benefits of
broadband's speed advantages include the ability to stream
audiovisual information seamlessly - watch news reports, listen to
radio online or check out the latest movie trailer at a much
higher quality than modem access allows.
Surfing the web becomes much less frustrating when using
broadband, pages load instantly and the blue 'loading ' bar
becomes a thing of the past. We can advise, install and configure
numerous broadband devices, depending on your needs.
The basic self-install adsl modems usually connect via a computer
usb port, and the software drivers etc are installed easily
via installation wizards.
However, if you want to start sharing this proxy to the outside
world (internet), then there is some configuration needed and the
security aspect of this “always on” connection needs to be
addressed (shared or not). If you want other network users to
share this connection a router would be the obvious choice. This
then allows external connectitivity without the main pc having to
be switched on (usb port off) and most reasonable routers will
have built in Firewalls, VPN, Ipsec, NAT, and DHCP features.
We recommend and install adsl modems/routers and combo
units that are cost effective as well as offering features
that are useful (required) now and in the future.
i.e Virtual Private Networks (VPN)
