What different types of broadband service are on offer?

Every provider has their own unique line up of features, but almost all of the best broadband deals available fall into three categories:

• Satellite Broadband:TWith this system, your downloads come to you through a satellite dish – nor dissimilar to Sky and Satellite Freeview TV. This system offers very good download speeds for most customers. However, you cannot normally send data to a satellite in orbit, so your uploads will be slower, going across the phone or ADSL wired internet connection as standard.
• ADSL Broadband: This is what most of us think of when we hear ‘broadband connection’. The oldest type of broadband available in the UK, this system uses an ADSL filter to encode uploads and downloads into your standard land telephone line. While a bit dated, these systems work well for millions of UK customers.
• Fibre optic/cable broadband: This system connects your router directly to a fibre optic line, transmitting uploaded and downloaded data as pulses of light along glass, plastic or hybrid fibres. Depending on your provider and location, this system is capable of some of the fastest speeds available in the UK. However, it is not yet available in all areas.
