Using Broadband
Broadband allows you to enjoy everything the online world has to offer - email, information and a rich world of pictures, sound tracks and video clips.
Internet
Whatever you're interested in you'll find it on the web. With broadband, you can
- Take a virtual holiday - view places and accommodation, and see what things look like before you book
- View houses inside and out if you're looking to buy
- Watch trailers before you choose a movie
- Use homework and revision websites to help your kids' education
- Look up a recipe and maybe watch a chef prepare it
- Enter your destination to see a map and get driving directions
- Listen to radio stations, from here and overseas
Staying in touch has never been easier. Here are a few of the things people love about broadband email
- Because you're always connected, you see your email as it comes in. Or you can send one right when you think of it
- When the other person is also online, you can send short messages back and forth to each other. It's like having a bit of a chat
- Emails with pictures are easy to send and receive
