With a traditional modem or ISDN connection you have to dial up at pre-set intervals to send and receive email. This is usually every 30-60 minutes. Typical connection problems include dial up difficulties, engaged lines, broken connections and slow or sluggish service during peak times.

With broadband the connection is constant. Effectively this means that the Internet is always on and accessible to use the instant you require it and dialing up difficulties are no longer encountered. For each employee accessing the Internet several times per day, this saves a significant amount of time and eliminates the frustration of waiting.

One of the many advantages of broadband is the sending and receiving of email instantly, enabling you to work more efficiently. With a modem or ISDN connection email is only sent or received at each dial up, adding delay to the process which can be frustrating if the messages are time sensitive.

Broadband has the capacity to upload and download large files, eliminating the sometimes long wait encountered by your staff and your customers when trying to send or receive larger than average documents. Broadband is up to 40 times faster than a traditional modem, which not only increases the efficiency at which you can work, but also stops your computer from being blocked by large downloads for long periods of time.

Broadband shares a phone line with voice calls. This means your Internet connection does not prevent your phone line from being fully available for incoming and outgoing calls and you do not have to go the expense of installing additional phone lines.
