Internet Services: Broadband and Dial-Up

Broadband

Broadband is a high-speed connection to the Internet that is 'always on.' It gives you quick access to websites, allows you to download files quickly, and you can make and receive phone calls at the same time. We offer a range of broadband products for homes and businesses.

Broadband is available to any property where a fixed telephone line already exists. Certain Broadband services may be limited by your line length from our exchange or other serving equipment. The connection speed you will receive will be determined by the length of the telephone line connecting your premises to the exchange and on other factors such as, but not limited to, contention ratios, Internet traffic generally your internal wiring and the specification of the equipment you use to connect to the Internet.

We will process your order and activate your service in accordance with our delivery times applicable at the time of order.

If there is a problem meeting these times we will contact you regarding your order. Broadband services are subject to minimum terms of service; our Terms and Conditions set out what these are.

Dial-Up

Dial-Up Internet is sometimes referred to as a narrowband connection. Unlike Broadband, dial-up connections are not always on, do not provide high-speed Internet access and when connected the telephone line cannot be used to make or receive calls at the same time. Dial-up Internet is available as a pay as you go service where you pay for Internet access on a per call basis. Pay as you go does not need to be ordered, there is no set-up charge or minimum term.
