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.

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...
