  • Home Broadband

    Broadband has become more essential in every home these days. Internet is widely used for various purposes like communication, education and entertainment by different people of different age groups. Anything is possible working online. Communication online is faster than being in person. But reliability of your home broadband is more important to be in peace. If not it's not just one person but everyone's work will be on hold creating a larger turmoil.


    Home broadband Usage

    Before selecting a broadband provider or a broadband plan, it's important to know and calculate the average usage of the internet by every person in the house hold. This can help to save a lot of time, confusion, dropping speeds of the connection, and tension of switching ISP's.


    How to decide the usage, even before having a connection?

    A very basic knowledge of the size of different data is required.

    Few tips:

    1. Any data in the form of complete text will not occupy much space.
    2. Addition of photographs, pictures, images, videos, animations, wallpapers, attachments, files, graphics etc, will consume more space. Also different formats will consume various amounts of spaces.

    Approximate size of different data (1GB = 1024Mb, 1Mb=1024Kb)
    1. One email= Less than 500Kb
    2. One email with 1 photo attached= 1Mb
    3. One Mp3 music file= less than 6Mb
    4. One hour of browsing= less than 25Mb

    Other factors to be considered
    1. How many users are there in the house hold?
    2. How many computers do you have?
    3. Are you planning to create a home networking, so that multiple computers can access the connection at the same time?
    4. Do you watch movies, videos and listen to songs online?
    5. Do you play online games?

    Home broadband packages

    Home broadband is also called as cable broadband which offers a maximum speed of 50Mbps in UK. The usage limit of home broadband in UK starts from as low as 2 GB, while the maximum is unlimited per month. Almost all the broadband providers offer packages starting from a contract period of 1 month to a maximum of 24 months. Some of the connections are offered as a contract at a minimum initial fee.

    Availability of a broadband provider, speed offered, usage limit and the monthly rental are some of the important factors that have to be taken in to account before subscription.


    How to choose the suitable home broadband package?
    1. Houses using single computer with one or two users can opt for a package with a usage limit between 2GB to 10GB.
    2. Houses using single computer with more than one two user can opt for a package with usage limits of up to 20GB.
    3. Houses that have multiple computers and multiple users in a home where the connection is shared using a router might require larger download limits. If most of them rely on the internet for their work then it's good to move for a package above 20GB.
    4. Customers who download lot of stuff from the internet like videos, audio files, and movies and play online games can opt for a package above 20GB.

    Home broadband in UK receive a better speed for accessing the internet. But the customers can be choosy in the speeds if its specifically used for certain purpose. Web browsing, emails, chatting, messaging, would hold good with a normal speed of 8 Mbps. But downloading of files from the internet, online videos and movies, online radios, online gaming and uploading of data would require a better speed. A minimum speed of 20Mbps would hold serve these purposes comfortably and provide a better user experience.
