Using a broadband speed test to check your broadband connection
These days it seems like everyone has broadband, but surprisingly, that doesn't necessarily mean that you have a decent connection in your home. when broadband was first introduced to replace to common dial up connections everyone marvelled at how quickly we could get to all of our favourite sites, and the internet boomed, but it would appear that in the last ten years or so, the traffic on the web has increased dramatically, and things have slowed down. Of course this isnt actually the case -...
How Accurate Is Your Broadband Speed Test
We all want the fastest internet connection possible for the cheapest price possible, but are we really getting our money's worth once we're finally up and running? Using a broadband speed test is one easy way to find out if the money you're paying for that supposedly premium internet connection is really worth it.

Do You Need a Broadband Speed Test
For most of us, the days of connecting to the internet via a 56.6kbps dial-up modem are long gone. It seems incredible that less than ten years ago these were amongst the best connections available to most ordinary people. By contrast, today many people living in urban areas in the UK are able to connect to the internet at speeds in excess of 20Mbps - a truly astonishing increase in speed and power.
Nevertheless this increase in maximum speed has not signalled the end of problems with slow...

It is now possible to perform a broadband speed test
The broadband marketplace is growing increasingly competitive. There are more broadband providers these days, and the market is reaching near saturation point. It is therefore hardly surprising that vendors are keen to out perform their rivals in terms of provision and service levels. But, broadband speeds do not always match the claims that are being made.
One of the most important factors when using broadband is the speed at which the connection can deliver information. We are growing...
How To Ensure Your Entire Home Receives A Clear Wi Fi Signal
With a range of products and devices in the home needing some form of signal to operate properly, it is not uncommon for Wi-Fi signals to get weakened by the sheer volume of signals permeating our homes these days. But what can you do if your Wi-Fi signal is weakened due to mobile phone and digital TV signals? Luckily, there are a few things.
The first thing to try doing is moving your router to a more central position in your home. The signal from a wireless router is projected in a circle...
The latest in broadband news
As technology is changing at such break neck speeds, consumers are finding it increasingly difficult to keep up with the seemingly never ending cycle of evolution. The moment that they have taken out a new mobile contract, tying them in for a minimum of twelve months to the latest and greatest mobile phone, they can do nothing but sit back and weep when a new handset is released a few weeks later that puts their mobile phone to shame.
The same is true of computers and anything related to...
