Faster Broadband Promised

A team of engineers at Bangor University have developed a device which promises to increase the current broadband speed by 100 times and to also be 75 per cent cheaper than the cost of today's broadband.

The scientists at the university have been working on the EU-funded Alpha project and are now ready to create the prototype.

The device works by using the same telecommunications network that we are using at the moment but it processes the information a lot more efficiently.

The scientists claim that this improved internet access will allow download of 15 full-length Hollywood movies a minute, meaning that consumers will then have access to very fast and cheap broadband.

The team are hoping that this invention will revolutionise the communications industry and believe that this new broadband technology will not only deliver high speed HD films and television, but also high-power computer games and home video-conferencing facilities.

The group also hope that this device will offer other beneficial functions as well, such as; supporting older people in their homes and enabling other applications like tele-medicine to thrive.

It is believed that once the prototype is finished, it will look similar to a DVD player and be placed somewhere in-between the broadband outlet and computer.

As of yet, there is no idea how much the device will cost, however; with so many people discovering from a broadband speed test that they are receiving such poor speeds at present, there is no doubt that this new and improved internet device will be very popular with consumers in the future.

A new device is expected to be able to provide consumers with very fast and cheap broadband.

It is believed that this new broadband will also deliver such bonuses as high speed HD films and television.

With so many people discovering from a broadband speed test that they are receiving such poor speeds, this new improved internet device should be very popular.

Mobile Phones - Wireless Broadband

Originally a service facilitated mainly by business users, allowing them to wirelessly "keep in touch" with the office, mobile broadband is starting to find its place in the consumer market.

In terms of hardware it's surprisingly easy to set up, all that is required is a USB dongle that you plug into your computer or laptop and you're then free to surf away!

Research suggests that this service would prove particularly useful to those in rural areas of the country, who are yet to benefit from conventional broadband.

Boasting speeds far superior to that of dial-up connections, and with relatively low costs, rural customers are likely to benefit from adopting mobile broadband.

Similarly, if you find yourself moving a lot, or only use a BT home phone line to make use of a broadband service then chances are you too would benefit from a mobile broadband service.

Of course as is the case with current cellular networks, the speed you will actually experience will vary depending on location and network coverage.

Currently, almost 90% of the UK is capable of receiving a 3G signal. However, the merger between T-Mobile & 3 will mean that 98% of the country will be able to reap the benefits of a 3G network. This network will be capable of achieving speeds of up to 7.2Mbps.

There are currently three companies in the UK that are offering mobile broadband, each of which offer their own spin, regarding download limits, contract length etc.

To ensure you get the best deal, it's advisable to make use of an online mobile phones comparison site.

Broadband - Awareness Campaigns

A series of events themed around safety on the Internet is being aimed at both children and parents in an attempt to raise awareness of dangers and risks on the Internet.

With broadband connections available more freely nowadays and more of us now having access to a personal computer or laptop, parents are being encouraged to keep a close eye on their children's online activity.

February 12th has been entitled 'Safer Internet Day' by the InSafe group. The European-wide event - which is celebrating it's fifth year of operation and awareness - was set up to encourage vigilance - both by parents and children - on staying safe online.

Schools were also encouraged to raise awareness, with many now having access to broadband connections in order to help with research during lessons. Information packs for a range of ages were provided by InSafe, who also ran a design competition of publicity material.

The competition encouraged groups of children from across Europe to design promotional projects about online safety, with the winning entries becoming focal points for the campaign, as well as offering a cash prize for the winning groups.

According to research carried out in 2007, over 40% of youngsters between the ages of 8-11 regularly used the internet, and there have been past campaigns to highlight the dangers of revealing personal information, such as mobile phone numbers and real names on internet chat rooms and social networking websites.

There have been rises in high-speed broadband connections and social networking websites over recent years, and children of all ages are being advised on how much information they post on their profiles.

But the Get Safe Online campaign is also advising users of all ages on the dangers of viruses, spyware and malware, and encouraging them to use anti-virus software and firewalls in an effort to protect their personal data.

Looking for better broadband? Perform a broadband speed test and compare broadband providers to find a deal that suits you.

ADSL Broadband

ADSL is a new technology that stands for Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line. This product can bring high speed Internet access to homes using standard copper telephone lines. ADSL is widely known as the primary competition to the cable modem, which can give you high speed Internet access using the lines used for cable TV.

There are many advantages ADSL has over cable modems. It is considered to be far less expensive and has a wider range of availability. Unlike cable?s high-speed Internet services, which are only available in high market areas, ADSL is available in places that cable does not offer Internet access. Thus, ADSL might appeal to consumers who prioritize practicality.

What is Broadband?

The term broadband refers to a high-speed method of transmitting data, voice, and video using a wide band of electromagnetic frequencies. This term is commonly associated with Internet access using ADSL or cable. While the term broadband is primarily used while talking about high-speed Internet access, the actual speed threshold of broadband actually varies with the type of connection.

The starting point of broadband is the T1 line, which is widely used in large companies and schools. However, both faster and slower rates have also used broadband.

Technical Specs

Broadband Internet access is much faster than dial-up access. T1 lines have download speeds of up to 1.5 mbps. While cable modems can give you download speeds of up to four times faster than the T1 line, ADSL download speeds will vary on your location and distance to the primary router. It can range from 256 kbps to up to eight mbps.

These types of Internet connections are far superior to what dial-up modems can offer you. Dial-up internet access can only provide you with up to 56 kbps of download speed.

ADSL provides detailed information on ADSL, ADSL Modems, ADSL Web Hosting, ADSL Routers and more. ADSL is affiliated with DSL Service.
