I'm female.
We dont understand technology or cars, its a fact. We can cook, multi task and generally communicate better than men, but we rely on you for the aforementioned examples above.
I know broadband makes things download faster but what else? Basically does it just mean the information comes to your computer faster than with a dial up modem, like what I am using now?
Does broadband come in different speeds? Like you can get 28 k b s modems and 56 k b s modems and I think you can get 128 k b s modems too, so does broadband vary in its speeds also?
Explain it to me please because I am considering getting it but would like to know more before I do!

And a 10MB.. apparently. Coming soon to a home near you.
Damnit, my humour sucks today.
Anyhoo, I *think* a 10MB line is actually out there somewhere. I know a man who's got it. He's extra rich. That'd explain it.

Wow, that would be very nice if that was standard here too :)

128KB only counts as broadband because the UK sucks – well, were NTL not told to stop calling 128KB broadband anyway? On continental Europe you'd be pushing it calling anything below 1024KB broadband.

128KB only counts as broadband because the UK sucks – well, were NTL not told to stop calling 128KB broadband anyway? On continental Europe you'd be pushing it calling anything below 1024KB broadband.

I found them noticable. Like no disconnecting. And about a bagizillion times faster. But then it was "56"kb. And it was on as soon as your PC was. That was the best feature as i could spend up to an hour a day connecting.

Broadband is a transmission medium capable of supporting a wide range of frequencies, typically from audio up to video frequencies. It can carry multiple signals by dividing the total capacity of the medium into multiple, independent bandwidth channels, where each channel operates only on a specific range of frequencies.
Just means that multiple stuff can be sent at the same time making it a lot quicker that the likes of a 56KB line.
If you are considering getting broadband then NTL offer a 600KB service for £25 a month. 128KB isn't really worth the money as the differences between that and a 56KB aren't very noticable.
If you can afford then look at the 1MB or higher services.
Also with broadband you are always connected so you can be downloading/uploading all day and night if you want. Also frees up your phone line as well.
