Broadband for Beginners

Broadband is just a fast internet connection.  With it, you get to enjoy the full experience of the internet - movies, photos, music, radio streaming, online games and more.

Benefits of Broadband

  • It's super-fast - it can be up to 20-40 times faster than dial-up!  So you can do things like looking at photos on Facebook or watching YouTube videos much faster than before.
  • You're connected to the internet 24/7 - no more waiting to dial-up.
  • You can be on the net and talk on the phone at the same time.
  • If you use a wireless modem, you can access the internet in any room, plus have more than one computer online at the same time.

Choosing your Broadband Plan

The main things to consider when choosing your broadband plan are the data cap and speed.

  • A data cap represents the number of web pages you can surf, files you can download and emails you can receive each month at broadband speed.
  • The speed is the maximum speed at which your Broadband connection will download or upload data to or from the Internet.  The speed of your service will depend on the plan you select.

If you're not totally sure what you'll need yet, don't worry - you can change to a different Slingshot plan for free.
