When you compare broadband with regular dial-up connections, you’d realize that broadband does not use telephone lines to connect to the Internet. So the telephone line is not blocked and therefore you would not have to miss important calls while being logged on to the Internet. Broadband service offers you the opportunity to use both the Internet and your phone line simultaneously.

Broadband allows you remain connected 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, because it’s always ‘on’. This means that as soon as you switch on your computer, you can start using the Internet and surfing. You would not need to reconnect after logging off. Broadband comes with both wired and wireless technology, so it is easy and convenient for each user. Travelers who use laptops, mobile phones, palmtops, etc. can make use of wireless Internet.

Another advantage of broadband is that it is billed according to the usage or the plan, and not according to the time. You can pay for your broadband on a monthly basis, and choose from various schemes which are offered by different service providers. So you wouldn’t need to keep a check on the usage time to prevent huge bills – broadband is much more convenient even in this sense!
