Do you understand broadband?

You may answer yes. I understand you may have tried different broadband from several broadband ISPs. You may have installed broadband on your own several times. You understand broadband speed - 2Mb, 8Mb or 24 Mb. You may comprehend the monthly usage and control your usage. But if you are not a tech in that place, you might not know everything behind these numbers. There is certainly something broadband ISPs won't tell you, or try to create it in a shady corner on their web page tmnet.

I'd like to tell you each one of these things:

Price:

As an increasing number of ISPs have packages, the price became increasingly more incomparable. Some packages like Talktalk have call bundles (including any time package or off peak package), some are joined with mobile phone contract, and a few deals are only open to TELEVISION Program subscribers.

A main trouble is most deal descriptions don't reveal whether the price contains the line rental. They might wish customer forget the existence of line rental. But usually, if the deal doesn't let you know that, it indicates the line rental is not contained in the price. In the event the line rental is contained, no ISP will forget to tell you tm net.

Speed:

When we talk to speed, I will tell you broadband ISPs are playing two tricks in words.

The first is the unit. They generally use Mb to describe the speed. Do you think whether the speed can reach the theoretic max speed, you may download a song in MP3 format (about 4MB) by 50 percent a second?

You're deceived. In computer, the size of the file is displayed in MB, which means MegaByte. Whilst in broadband specification, speed is showed in Mb, which implies Megabit. 1 MegaByte = 8 Megabit. So 8Mb per second means 1 MB per 2nd. Yet another instance I need to emphasise is: Do ask your broadband ISP the maximum speed your phone line can support. Because maybe not all the telephone line in UK support 8Mb broadband. Phone lines in a few areas can only reach

2Mbps. If your telephone line can not support fast speed, it's really a waste of money to purchase fast broadband. And I understand some ISP do not check it for clients and only open fast broadband for customers regardless of real speed the phone line can reach. Connection Speed:

Now, we know the actually speed broadband ISPs provide to us. However, there is certainly yet another bad news - you may have to talk about the bandwidth with other 49 individuals. Therefore in Internet rush hour, the real speed might be slow right down to 160 Kb an additional. That is 20 KB per second.

Wonder why? Because there is a link speed for broadband! Few broadband ISPs tell customers its link speed on an explicit place on the website. But it does influence the speed a whole lot.

So what's connection speed? Connection rate reveals the amount of users who share the bandwidth

on a single broadband connection between your local exchange along with your broadband ISP. Normally, the connection ratios are 50:1 and 20:1. In UK, the connection speed for home broadband is 50:1, which implies you may likely to talk about your bandwidth with 49 other users, needless to say, never more than that number. The connection ratio for business broadband is 20:1. It'll be a lot faster in Internet rush-hour Web Site.
