Broadband download speed
Broadband speed is the speed level at which users can download a file from the internet. It also determines how quickly one receives information from the internet and how quickly a web page is opened. For quick downloading of music files, viewing websites and watching TV online, a fast broadband speed is necessary.

Broadband upload speed
Upload speeds is just the opposite of download speeds. Upload speed determines how quickly one can send files and information to the internet. Like download speeds, upload speeds are also very important when purchasing a broadband deal. For sending contents to social networking sites, one should have a broadband service with good upload speeds.

Megabits (Mb) and megabytes (MB)
When we come across broadband packages and deals, Mb and MB is the most commonly used terms. Some of us may not understand the basic difference of Mb and MB, but the distinction between the terms it is very important. These terms are used to measure the broadband speeds. The broadband speed is calculated in (Mb) megabits per second. 8 megabits constitutes One megabyte (MB). MB is the electronic measure of data used to determine the file sizes on the computer. An MP3 music file is 4MB large.

Megabits per second Mb are used to measure the broadband upload and download speeds, instead of megabytes MB. If a broadband package of 8MB download speeds is capable of downloading data at a rate of 8 megabits per second, or 1 megabyte per second.

It is interesting to note that yesterday was the official Safer Internet Day and it emphasized the need for a safe internet for the complete family and the survey released its conclusions on the same day making the situation even worse for Facebook.

The organizers pointed out that it is like a two-way street, where children are being guided by their parents about the use of internet safety on the one side and on the other side, almost 66% of children helping their parents to surf net. According to a survey more than 65 % of children said that what they are doing online is known to their parents. Many companies are eager to point out the inherent danger that exists there and two surveys were made to find out the number of underage children on Facebook.

In principle, the social networks are not supposed to allow children less than 13 years to have an account. Two studies conducted by ISC2 and Dubit say that this policy is most ineffective. Dubit conducted a survey consisting of 2000 children half of whom belonged to the age group 8 to 12. It is astonishing to note that 44% of the children were on Facebook which is 7% more than in the United States. Apart from social gaming, there are many reasons like ‘being cool’, seeming ‘grown up’ for these kids to have a Facebook account.

ISC2 conducted a survey in this regard, in and around London and questioned about 15oo children aged between 10 to 12. It was found out that 63 per cent of the children had social network account. The survey found that 10% of these children have already made preparations to meet their Facebook friends and another 28% are going to meet their Facebook friends with out the knowledge of their parents.

The question now is whether Facebook is ready to impose stringent measures in its account creation structure by adhering to strict age limit? Suppose the network remove all children under 13, God only knows what remains of its 850 million strong user base.
