Internet technology is gathering speed

Want faster internet but don’t know where to start? Try broadband, says David Clerkin.

ARE you being bamboozled by broadband? Computer users whose technical skills begin and end at judicious use of their PC's on/off switch have shied away from the complexities of high-speed internet access so far.

But those who complain about their mobile phone costs and bank charges, and the pain involved in switching providers for a better deal, will benefit from using their first broadband connection as a chance to choose wisely and even make a killing on their home phone bills in the process.
