Broadband

Broadband in telecommunications is a term which refers to a signaling method which includes or handles a relatively wide range of frequencies which may be divided into channels or frequency bins. Broadband is always a relative term, understood according to its context. The wider the bandwidth, greater is the information carrying capacity. In radio, for example, a very narrow-band signal will carry Morse code; a broader band will carry speech; a still broader band is required to carry music without losing the high audio frequencies required for realistic sound reproduction. A television antenna described as "normal" may be capable of receiving a certain range of channels; one described as "broadband" will receive more channels. In data communications a modem will transmit a bandwidth of 64 kilobits per seconds (kbit/s) over a telephone line; over the same telephone line a bandwidth of several megabits per second can be handled by ADSL, which is described as broadband (relative to a modem over a telephone line, although much less than can be achieved over a fibre optic circuit, for example).

Choosing an Internet Service Provider (ISP)
The first things you need to consider before choosing an ISP are your potential Internet needs. This will determine then determine the type of service that will suit you. To find a suitable ISP you can start talking to those who already have an ISP and learn about their experiences. Some questions you may want to ask are:

1 - How often do I want to access the Internet?
2 - Do I want to pay my ISP month by month or lock into a contract?
3. How much can I download and what are the charges for additional downloads?
4. Does the ISP provider offer support in the hours required?
5. How long has the Internet Service Provider been in business?
6. Do I know anyone who uses this Internet Service Provider?
