GUIDE TO CHOOSE BROADBAND PROVIDER!!

• There are a lot of factors to consider when comparing broadband packages, but perhaps the most important are speed, cost and contract length. With so many providers, contracts, offers and packages to choose from, the first step is to know exactly what you need.

What kind of broadband package do I want?

• Beginner's broadband. If you are just starting out, it's likely that you're looking for a package that's easy to set up, not too expensive and offers good customer support.
• Heavy-Use broadband. You know if you are a heavy-user if you enjoy downloading oodles of songs and movies using peer-to-peer software, or you're a big fan of online gaming. Either way, our heavy-use packages are the ones to look out for.
• Business broadband. These packages differ from consumer deals as they offer extras like static/fixed-IPs, webspace and email addresses as well as routers and secuity suites.
• Mobile broadband. If you access the Internet primarily from your laptop, then mobile broadband is an option worth considering - whether to be used at home or on the go. Mobile broadband providers will send you a 'dongle' (modem) that you plug into the USB slot on your laptop to access the Internet, at broadband speeds, wherever there's mobile phone coverage.

• Family broadband. With more and more devices like laptops, tablets, TVs, set-top boxes and gaming consoles connecting to the Internet, families have specific needs that are best catered for by certain providers.
