What is it?
- A data communications technology that allows you to use your telephone for voice and internet at the same time. The download speed is faster than the upload speed.
- It is an ‘always on’ connection, which means when you turn your computer on, you are connected, no dialling required.
- Allows you to use your phone and the internet at the same time.
- There are no ‘dial up’ charges involved so no local or STD calls.
- From 5 to 25 times faster than Dial-up.
