Choosing the Right Broadband Connection

In today’s fast paced modern world, having a reliable Internet connection can be a huge advantage. Clearly, it is one of the fastest and most convenient way to find the information that you need. Communication has never made been better as well. With just a few clicks, you can now reach your friends and family.

In the past, Internet access was very limited, especially in most suburbs in the rural area. Residents needed to go to the city proper just to have access to the Internet. Fortunately, the NBN Broadband Internet Service has made it possible for everyone to enjoy a fast and reliable Internet connection.  In this post we will discuss the different types of broadband Internet and its features.

1. DSL (Digital Subscriber Line)
This is a wire line transmission device, which transmits data faster than a traditional copper telephone lines. Its speed ranges from up to hundreds of Kbps to millions of bits per second. The speed depends on the distance from your home or office to its main network provider.

2. Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL)
This is the newly improved wire line connection. It has recently been used by residential customers. It can provide better speed and connection in the downstream direction than the upstream. It may also allow faster downstream data transmission over the same line. The connection will not be disrupted by any regular telephone calls.

3. Satellite Internet
This is the most popular wireless broadband Internet in the rural area. The availability and spend depend on several factors. This includes the provider and service package you are subscribing. Other factors that may affect your connection is the line of sight and weather. Basically, you can expect to receive or at an average speed of about 500 Kbps and send at a speed of about 80-100 Kbps.

4. Fibre
The Fibre optic device converts electrical signals, which carry data to light and sends the signals through transparent glass fibre. The speed may vary on several factors as well. This includes the distance of your device to the service provider, and the router used for your connection.

The good thing about those service providers under the NBN is they have licensed technicians who will help you identify the right broadband connection for you. Installation is usually free and you may also choose the best package that will suit your budget and requirements.
