Broadband is the term used to describe any form of high speed Internet
service. In order to use VoIP, Broadband Internet access is a
requirement due to the bandwidth needed to make a phone call over the
Internet. Regular dial-up Internet access is not sufficient as it can
only run at a maximum speed of 56Kbps.
So if you want to save over
$500 per year on your phone calls you need a Broadband Internet
service.
There are many additional reasons to move to a Broadband Internet
service. Most home users sign up for DSL or Cable Broadband Internet
access. This can run at over 30 times faster than dial-up and has the
added benefit of being "always-on" so Internet access is available as
soon as you power on your computer.
Our Broadband Internet section explains the main types of Broadband
Internet access in use today and the benefits it delivers. We have
partnerships with all of the major Broadband Service Providers. This
allows us to offer special deals for high-speed Internet access that
you would not typically get by going direct to those provider's
websites.
Broadband internet service is the only requirement for Voice over
Internet Protocol (VoIP), also known as Broadband Phone Service, which
is taking the telephoney world by storm.
VoIP can save the typical
phone user an average of $500/year on their phone bill and can be used
to replace your traditional phone line or just as your primary line so
you can enjoy the abundance of features. VoIP technology uses a
broadband internet connection to 'carry' your voice call, different to
your normal telephone service that uses your dedicated phone line.
