COMPARE BROADBAND SERVICES
The first thing you should decide before you choose your package is what broadband connection speed you want, and what your download limit should be. The answer to this depends on how much you use your connection, and what you intend to use it for. If you just want to surf the internet and use email, a slower connection speed and a lower download limit is all you really need – and this will most likely work out cheaper.
However if you want to download a lot of files, watch online films, download music or use file sharing networks you should probably opt for an unlimited download limit and choose one of the quicker packages. To help you choose, we have marked each service as light, medium and heavy. If you are a new internet or broadband user, a light package will probably be best; a medium one if you use more regularly and should opt for heavy if you run a business, or spend a lot of time online!
