BROADBAND SERVICES

Broadband imageSo what is Broadband?
Until only a few years ago, if you wanted to access the Internet, chances are you had to rely on a trusted 56k modem (dial-up service). If you were lucky, you may have had access to an ISDN line which could perhaps download the average webpage in 5 rather than 10 seconds with dial-up. Broadband is the successor to these services - a vast number of providers are fighting to equip consumers with far faster Internet access (starting at 512 Kbps) following the de-regulation of BT's stranglehold on fast Internet access.

The benefits of broadband are understood - the connection is 'always on', access to the Internet can be 10 times or more faster than the old dial-up connections of 'yesteryear', and you should be able to get a 'starter' package for around £20 per month with a wide variety of big name suppliers - not a great deal more than the old dial-up anytime services, which were unreliable in many cases.
xDSL (Digital Subscriber Line) is perhaps the most convenient, since it uses existing technology embedded in your normal BT line. Using the other part of your BT twisted cable line, you can still use the telephone as usual while broadband is accessed on the other part of the line. There is therefore minimal disruption to install the service. The most popular type of DSL in the UK is Asymmetrical DSL (ADSL) - you should typically expect download speeds of around 500 Kbps and 200Kbps for uploads using this flavour of DSL.
Our business standard packages range from 512Kb and go up to 8Mb and start from only £20.00 per month.  So whether you're a single business user or a multi-user organisation, Glemnet has a broadband solution to meet your requirements.

Glemnet BusinessWhat sort of speed might I expect?
MAX provides download service at up to 8Mb/s. Although some users may experience line (sync) speeds at or close to this rate, the majority are likely to receive line rates around 6.5Mb/s
Will my existing ADSL equipment work with ADSL Max?
Most ADSL equipment (modems and routers) is likely to work with ADSL Max. Users with routers are likely to find fewer problems when regrading to Max services than users with USB modems.
Glemnet recommends that users upgrade to a router and ethernet connection in order to experience the optimal ADSL MAX experience
