| Why Should I Register ? |
BT's programme for enabling
exchanges for broadband is now driven by customer demand. Registration of
interest with a broadband service provider or official campaign group is the
only way for BT to judge where real customer demand exists.
Here are just a few reasons why you might want to register for ADSL
broadband:
Flexibility
Do you use the Internet frequently but don't want to have to pay for a
second telephone line because your dialup modem is always tying up your line
?
With ADSL broadband, you can be on the Internet 24/7 and use the telephone
at the same time.
Cost
Are your telephone bills getting high through excessive Internet use ?
ADSL broadband is a single flat-fee monthly charge which makes it easier to
budget for and is a boon to businesses who spend over six hours a day
connected to the Internet.
Speed
Tired of waiting for websites to load ?
ADSL broadband will provide a browsing experience over 40 times faster than
a standard 56k dialup modem.
More Enjoyment
Fed up with clicking the 'Low Quality' video/audio link when visiting a
website that offers a video feed (such as http://news.bbc.co.uk/) ?
ADSL broadband will let you access up to four 128k (typically 'High
Quality') streams at the same time!
The Future Of Telecommunications
Would you use the Internet more to chat if traditional methods of Internet
communication (e-mail, instant messaging, IRC, etc) weren't so 'impersonal'
?
With a webcam and ADSL broadband, you can enjoy free use of your very own
'videphone' (think of the videophone capabilities offered by modern mobile
phones but much better quality and no 50p a minute charges). This kind of setup
is very popular with families which are regularly seperated due to work
commitments, relatives in far-away parts of the world, etc, etc.
Computer Gaming
Are you sick of watching your tournament ranking slip lower and lower as you
keep losing to opponents who are less-experienced but seem to have an 'edge'
when playing against you ?
Nope... they are (probably) not cheating. It is highly likely that they
already have a faster Internet connection which doesn't suffer from the
typical latency (time it takes your data to get from your PC to your ISP) of
a conventional dialup modem.
Level the playing field... register your interest for broadband today!
Diversity
Does the local radio play your favourite tunes ?
No ? - then access over a thousand Internet radio stations using nothing but
your computer, some loudspeakers and a broadband connection.
A broadband connection is capable of streaming the highest quality audio
streams which equal if not better the quality offered by a conventional CD
player - even geographical restrictions don't apply, as nearly all Internet
radio stations (be they in the USA or any other country) allow listeners to
stream their music from all over the world!
Requirements
Apart from having a BT telephone line, there is no other criteria which you
have to meet in order to register your interest in ADSL broadband. You
don't even have to take a broadband service once BT have enabled the Spilsby
exchange, your registration of interest merely indicates to BT that you
would like to see ADSL broadband services offered to Spilsby in addition to
BT's current portfolio of services.
