Heavy Use Broadband

Heavy Use Broadband refers to broadband services and products designed for heavy users of broadband services, and to busy households consisting of several computer owners all wanting to access the internet simultaneously. Single users who routinely download several hundreds of MP3s, subscribe to online movie rental and streaming services, play games, chat to and IM friends will want to take out a Heavy Use Broadband package, especially if they are sharing a flat or house with other similarly minded users. Similarly, a busy family environment with four or more people all trying to get online at once for work or leisure reasons, would benefit from a Heavy Use Broadband.

Heavy Use Broadband packages don't just exclusively cater for hardcore gamers and heavy downloaders - a Heavy Use package is ideal for any household where any number of people will be engaging in some intensive internet use, whether it's a family of four all wanting to access the web at the same time for any number of different reasons - school or college work, chatting to friends, checking train times, booking flights, playing games - a single user torrenting hundreds of audio files, gaming enthusiasts organising a LAN party or playing against multiple opponents online… if you want a Heavy Use Broadband package, then you'll know!

A Heavy Use Broadband products will typically come with an Unlimited usage cap, and a fast top speed ranging from anything between up to 8Mbps to 50Mbps, for seriously heavy broadband users.

Heavy Use Broadband products usually make up the more premium end of the broadband market, and so be prepared to spend a little extra if you really think you're going to need the fastest speeds available or a flexible download package.

Many packages come with an unlimited download cap these days, giving you the freedom to download a large amount of files and browse the web at your leisure, but do not necessarily come with a lightning fast download speed - if speed is not necessarily what you are after, the you may be able to save money by going with a slower unlimited broadband service.

The technological advantages of ADSL2+ and Cable Broadband mean that if speed is of the essence, then you are better off signing up for these services if they are available to you.
