-
Download speed [?]
Download Speed
This refers to the pace at which your internet will process data for you (i.e. when browsing the net, download or streaming content). The more 'Mb' the faster your internet might be and the quicker you will be able to move across the internet. For users wanting to browse the net and little more, any package offering up to 20 Mb or more should be sufficient.
30 Mb -
Upload speed [?]
Upload Speed
This refers to the pace at which your computer is able to place content onto the internet, i.e. photos. The more 'Mb' the faster you can upload content onto the internet. For the majority of users the amount downloaded will be significantly higher than the amount uploaded.

Connection Types
3G: Mobile phone technology that includes services and applications with faster access to the web.
ADSL: Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line - the technology that allows you to receive broadband using existing telephone networks. It works like a very fast telephone line that is always connected to the internet. By converting data more efficiently over a wider frequency range than a computer´s modem, ADSL makes the line much faster.
Cable broadband: Much like cable television and telephone services, broadband is carried through a fibre optic cable buried under the ground.
Fibre optic: Utilising the latest cable technology Fibre Optic Broadband can deliver speeds up to six times faster than ADSL lines.
Satellite broadband: An alternative to ADSL that uses a satellite connection to provide a permanent connection to the internet.
