Home upgrades – Understanding broadband

Computer literacy is no longer some new-fangled thing for kids who like to play video games. Computer literacy is an all-ages consideration, from grocery shopping to online banking and even booking a vacation… the world has gone digital. But it seems not everybody is keeping up. It’s estimated that 25% of people in 37 of the world’s top performing economic countries are not computer literate. That’s one in four people who are strangers to the web.

 

Today, we’re going to focus on broadband. If you have not checked out the broadband deals that may be available in your area, see cable.co.uk for more information. Understanding broadband can be your gateway to a greater quality of internet access – without which you could be held back from improving your IT literacy.

 

What is broadband?

We’re going to start by answering the big question: what is broadband? You may be familiar with the older style dial-up connection that required the use of a phone line (nobody could use the house phone if a device was connected to the internet). Broadband is the solution to freeing up that phone line while also improving internet speeds – meaning that with a broadband connection, you can enjoy faster download speeds, streaming speeds, and upload speeds.

How does it all work?

 This is the easy part. Your internet service provider (known as an ISP), will install your broadband connection in your home. What you will be left with at the end of the installation is a box called a router, which is plugged into the wall. This router may be accessed either wirelessly by devices with wireless functionality, or via an ethernet cable. If you are unsure as to how to connect at the point of having your broadband connection established, always speak to the engineer for further advice – the engineer should be able to assist you with learning how to connect your devices to the router. This will likely form part of the checks before the installation is complete, as the engineer will likely wish to test that the connection is not faulty. 

Why do I need broadband?

The improved connection offered by broadband services means that you can complete multiple tasks without waiting around all day for things to load. For example, you could access email or social media, listen to music or watch movies, and browse for gifts for any upcoming celebrations all at the click of a button (or at the tap of a screen if you’re using a tablet or phone – you will need to connect to your broadband through a laptop, PC, tablet, phone, or any other internet ready device).

 

In conclusion, upgrading to broadband can open a world of possibility. Where before you may have been frustrated with slow load speeds (which may have discouraged you from getting to grips with life online), broadband can help you to realize that an upgraded internet connection is all that you’ve been missing in finding your feet in the dot-com world.
