What is Broadband?
There are many different definitions for broadband.
Simply put, broadband is the technology that allows you
to access the internet at very high speeds.
Broadband is far quicker than a standard dial-up internet
connection and gives you the power to send email, browse
the web and download files in an instant. |

Broadband utilises digital technology to connect your computer to
the internet. Crosby broadband effectively "piggy-backs" on your current
copper telephone wires and works by "splitting" voice and data into
separate frequencies, transmitting these over the standard telephone
line. It is this technology that enables you to simultaneously talk
on the telephone (or send a fax) while using the Internet.
The great benefit of Crosby Broadband is that you do not have to have
additional cabling or wiring installed in your home to get access to the
service.
Advantages of Broadband
- Broadband is the technology that allows you to send and
receive information over the Internet at super-fast speeds,
without blocking your telephone lines.
- Broadband loads information up to 30 times faster than
Dial-up Internet. That means you no longer need to make a cup
of tea while your favourite website is "loading", it downloads
before you can say "white with one".
- There is no fear of "drop-out". Broadband will never hang
up on you because it is "always on". This saves you the
annoyance and cost of repeated local calls that you pay
with standard dial-up Internet each time you log on.
- Broadband keeps your phone line free. Gone are the days
of a permanently engaged telephone signal at home because someone
is on the Internet. You can actually use the phone and the net at
the same time.
- You can download larger files, such as video and movie clips,
and transfer large files of text or graphics at super high speeds.
Broadband is also perfect for delivering instant access to web
pages that are impossible to view on a standard dial-up
connection.
- You can connect multiple computers to the Internet through the
same connection at the same time no more arguments over who uses
the Internet first!
- Conquer the world...in cyberspace at least! Broadband enables
you to play games online, faster, longer,
fun for everyone.
