Australian fast broadband plans and National Broadband Network explained

Article by Whistle Out

Broadband internet is the most commonly used internet connection, and is the term given to describe a number of different forms of high speed internet connections. Any internet connection that is 1 Mbps or higher is considered broadband. A broadband connection provides the internet speed that we expect in today

The Impatient Downloader’s Guide to Fast Broadband

Article by Shirley Stevens

With the wide choice of fast broadband deals now available, there is no longer any need to struggle along at a snail’s pace, regardless of what you are trying to download. You’ll be absolutely amazed at the opportunities opening up for you around the internet.

Why is it worth taking a fast broadband package?

Fast broadband speed allows data to be transferred at a breathtaking speed, meaning no more frustrating waiting around for downloads or annoyingly missing out on game patches.

You should seriously think about faster speeds if you are a frequent downloader of movies or music, or even large files.

Online gamers stand to gain the most as the latency and ping times experienced are vital milliseconds lower, giving one that extra advantage over your opponent.

How fast is fast?

A 512kb connection was considered fast broadband a few years ago, but the newer fastest broadband packages are regarded as those above the average ‘up to’ 8Mb ADSL connection and use either fibre optic cable or ADSL2+ technology.

The highest download speed available on your broadband connection is measured in Megabits per second (Mbps), with latest technologies capable of providing broadband connections of ‘up to’ 24Mb per second.

It has been estimated that before the end of this year speeds of 50Mb will be reached, or up to as much as 200Mb employing the same technology.

How does one choose fast broadband?

It’s important to remember that the ideal fast broadband provider is one which allows you unlimited download with no restrictive fair use policy to trip you up.

Here, you will find Be Broadband particularly lenient regarding peak time usage. Virgin Media has a traffic management policy, which means that you need to watch your peak time usage carefully.

If you exceed your allowance, Virgin Media will temporarily slow down your fast broadband connection and that would just be infuriating.

Another option worth thinking about is ADSL2+ providers, with their higher upload speeds of around 256Kb.

Be Broadband and O2 Broadband are two providers which offer even faster upload speeds up to about 1.3Mb.

While upload speeds are not of much use to the average web user, gamers, home office workers and file sharers will appreciate the added oomph of a faster upload speed.

A site that allows you to compare broadband deals by speed, will help make your choice for broadband speeds much easier.

Is my area enabled for fast broadband?

Not every BT exchange in the country is enabled for fast broadband and some broadband services are restricted to particular areas. Many broadband providers have in fact installed their own equipment in various local exchanges to be able to provide such high speeds.

It is advisable to check which services you are able to receive in your area with a postcode checker.

Broadband Speeds… Is Your Broadband Fast Enough?

Article by kingpin

November 2008 – Ever since the internet escaped from a bunker in the Nevada desert much has been made of ‘the speed of the web’. When making it’s first foray into the consumer world the net was slow. Many factors contributed to limiting it’s efficacy, emergent technology running at sub-optimum speeds, basic and unwieldy software architecture, the limited number of connections comprising the net and very importantly the size of the information superhighway. These days ‘bandwidth’ is a common term- how much you tube we can squeeze down our phone lines. Broadband was a major innovation in internet usability. As the computer hardware got faster and the software more refined, the amount of data transferred also began increase at an alarming rate. Soon the limiting factor was the phone connection, our broadband connections are either ADSL or fibre optics, capable of transferring a much higher volume of bytes of information per second than our aging analogue phone lines capable of a measly 56kbps. As the technology became available the early adopters ie the business community paved the way for Broadband to be the norm not the exception. Now, we all expect to be able to receive broadband at home and if you listen to the adverts your connection speed is now in the tens of Mbps. Is this actually the case however?

Reading the small print it is quickly obvious that the quoted speed in Mbps is the maximum possible speed of data transfer, the actual transfer rate is significantly slower. The telecoms providers have been very keen on consumer uptake of broadband and the connection speed has been a, if not the, major selling point. As the disparity between the aspiration and the actual has become increasingly apparent so has the tendency of consumers to use software to verify the genuine transfer rate. If the global marketplace works as we are told it does, this should push the providers to improving their service or backing down from unrealistic claims. Though, given the speed of technological development, the safe bet would be on the former.

So, if your connection speed is lagging, does that mean your service provider is entirely culpable or are there other considerations that can influence matters? The two most important variables you can adjust to boost your connection speed are the hard/software settings and the wires you use. Check the settings on your internet browser and your router. Older browsers download sequentially rather than concurrently, this can seriously hamper data transfer and for the sake of downloading a browser an easy fix. Check the router as well, open all the ports available to boost signal or invest in a new model. It is worth noting that most Broadband providers now offer a free router so you can get wireless broadband.

Wires also have a big influence on your connection, if the internet arrives at your door quick as lightning and then has to crawl through long, low-quality wires to reach your computer you can be losing 3Mbps of transfer speed. And, if your wires are high-quality and well placed, a lack of wires may be the culprit. You may be sharing your wifi connection with the entire street unless you use WEP or preferably WPA encryption. If you are fully encrypted it can also be worth bypassing your wifi router to see whether it is the signal between the router and the computer is responsible. A good aerial can boost the signal by 30-50%.If you have tried the above and the bus is still quicker than the net, your providers aspirations don’t match their service. Point this out to them and if circumstances don’t improve a switch of providers is called for.

UK Broadband Networks Not As Fast As They Claim

Article by Cooper

Ofcom has recently conducted the most vigorous study of broadband speeds in the UK. It has resulted that some interesting findings that add to claims by many politicians that the UK broadband services are not at the levels they should be. The key finding from Ofcom’s study is that average speeds of UK broadband connections are less than 4Mbps. What is interesting about this is that many broadband operators promise speeds of 20Mbps and Virgin Broadband have announced a connection of 50Mbps. It appears that all is not as it should be in the broadband market in the UK.

There were other key findings in the report commissioned by Ofcom that discovered there is a huge amount of congestion on the current networks. Also during the most popular times of broadband usage, speeds will drop below even those averages that were discovered in the report. People in rural areas will have little comfort with the report as it discovered that they will really suffer from connections that don’t match those in the cities. A report of results has demonstrated that on average, a broadband line will offer less than 50% of the advertised speed. A contributing factor will be the quality of the phone line. Because of this, it is advised to choose a fibre optic service from a provider such as Virgin.

This study is believed to be the most effective ever completed with relation to UK broadband connections. A further report that will detail an individual ISPs performance will be released later in the year.

There are many websites that offer speed testing. The difference between this study and the websites is that it was completed by a specialist firm that tested using hardware methods which are known to be much more accurate. This is what makes the results of the report so interesting and valid.
