What is Broadband

Broadband comes in different flavours with different bandwidths but they all provide the same thing; fast internet connection at different speeds for businesses who want to do different things like web browsing, uploading files, downloading files like images or video.  Fast Broadband connections mean that you have no delay in seeing your chosen web page, any video you stream direct from a site is smooth, email is quick and direct messaging or chat is in real time.

How Broadband and ethernet is delivered to you

Business Broadband is delivered to you seamlessly and the flavours have different levels of bandwidth using different combinations of hardware and software.  

• ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) uses standard, copper telephone cables.
• Ethernet is faster, uses fibre cables all the way in to your premises where you lease the lines and provides a guaranteed service that is uncontended.  
• EFM (Ethernet in the First Mile) uses a combination of copper and fibre cabling (i.e. Ethernet and ADSL) to provide guaranteed data speeds both up and down stream.
• FTTC (Fibre to the Cabinet) uses fibre cabling up until the Green Box.  
• FTTP (Fibre to the Premises) connects direct to you but both provide a high quality of service with high bandwidth.

Whatever the cable used to provide your business broadband, it will depend on the location of your business premises and your telephone system.
