Does using the Internet block your phone line? Does your family argue about wanting to use the phone, but someone’s online, or vice-versa? Have you even considered going to the expense of a second phone line so you can use the phone and the Internet at the same time?

If any of these seem familiar to you, then broadband is the answer. It shares your existing line with your phone, so you can be online and your phone is still fully available for incoming and outgoing calls.

Dial up via modem or ISDN is charged per minute, for which BT currently charges 3.36p per minute. If you access the Internet regularly, or have a number of people in your household going online, your charges can soon mount up.

With broadband you pay a fixed monthly charge with no additional call charges to pay. Unlimited Internet access is available without you having to worry about your phone bill.

The speed at which you can send and receive large attachments, open images and view websites is remarkable. Up to 10 times faster than a standard modem, broadband means no more frustrating delay or blocking your computer for hours when trying to download large attachments.

This dramatically improves the Internet experience for every home user, from receiving email and attachments, to web surfing and doing homework. People working from home can especially benefit, as sending and receiving volumes of data or dialing in to head office becomes fast and simple without blocking your computer and phone line for hours.
