BT broadband is ideal for family use that is not heavy use as most BT broadband packages have download limits. These limits are quite large though so you should not hit them if you are simply browsing the web and sending emails, it is only if you are downloading large files that you would have to worry about the download limit and if this is something you wish to do then you should look for a broadband package that has no download limit. BT also offer some excellent deals for new broadband customers such as half price for the first few months or even free for the first month, these offers change all of the time so it is best to check the BT broadband web site for the latest offers and deals.

The broadband that BT offer is mainly ADSL which is what most people will need, it includes a free ADSL broadband modem, micro filters and all of the cables that you will need. There are various speeds available but they are not all available everywhere in the UK so you will have to check on the BT broadband web site to see which speeds you can receive. The faster the speed you choose the faster the broadband will be but there is no need for the really fast speeds if you simply browse the web and send emails, 1MB per second is easily fast enough for this so only get faster if you use the Internet allot or share your broadband connection.

BT offer a broadband connection that comes with a wireless modem so you can share your broadband connection in your home, if you have several people using the Internet then it is better to have a faster connection as the combined usage will slow things down. Having a wireless modem is great as it means you can use a laptop anywhere in your home with no cables while using broadband, it is also easier to set up as the wireless modem that comes with BT broadband will already be set up to use the BT broadband service.
