Broadband - Broadband Guide - What speed broadband to get

Broadband speedSo, how fast do you want to go. How quick do you actually want your broadband to be?!

To start with we will create a table that will list a few values and how they relate to standard dial up internet.

Speed How much quick than Dial Up
Dial Up - 56Kbps
-
Standard broadband - 512Kbps 10 times faster than Dial up
1MB broadband 20 times faster than Dial up
2MB broadband 40 times faster than Dial up
4MB broadband 80 times faster than Dial up
8MB broadband 160 times faster than Dial up
24MB broadband | ADSL2+ 480 times faster than Dial up

As you can see broadband speed leaves dial up standing. With many broadband providers now making 2MB the standard that they give to users for the same price that users used to get standard broadband the reasons to get broadband are there just based on the speeds!
Broadband MAX is also a term that is widely used now by many providers with regards to their fastest broadband deals.
