Monday, August 16th, 2010

A New Zealand based company has created a new device that could increase the speed of broadband connectivity as many as 50 times of the original speed. It looks more or less like a modem and is manufactured by remote management systems. Broadband speed can be enhanced by re-wiring the existing broadband connection with less than $800.

Telecom giant Chorus has already taken orders for this instrument, the company has also received interest about this product from Singapore, France, Taiwan and Briton. It acts as an electric backup system for people who already have a fiber optic broadband connection.

Tips to Boost your Broadband Speed

Monday, May 3rd, 2010

The speed of your wireless broadband may be a hit or a miss with so many reasons. You can increase the speed of your broadband by following some simple tips.

(1)Buy an Unlocked Modem

When you buy modems for a specific network it may be cheaper, but you have to use that modem for a life period or you will be tied to that network. It is essential to buy an unlocked modem that helps to choose your network or service provider as per your need. Choose a SIM card that fulfills your requirements, if you are a frequent traveler then choose a network that provides uninterrupted connection. In some places where there is lack of connection it will be filled by another provider in 3G network connections.  Telstra, Bigpond and 3 share their networks while Virgin media shares it network with Optus.

(2)Use A USB Cable

Connect your laptop with the USB cable provided instead of plugging the dongle straight into the system. This reduces the electrical interference and provides more reception of the signal. You can get extra bandwidth and high speed from this.

(3)Change Your APN
Different APNs (Access Point Names) are assigned by mobile networks to customers on monthly contracts. Improved Band width can be received by paying an extra amount on the regular contract. You can get every kilobit per second from your connection. Signing up a long term deal with the networks such as Vodafone, 3 or Telstra can provide you high speed access.

(4) Switch to Open DNS
According to Wireless and mobile expert Paul, the DNS servers used in Wireless broadband services “tend to be pretty patchy.” DNS could take a longer time or could result in web address failure. Instead of that open DNS (www.opendns.com) can be used if the there is a delay in website loading.

Few Facts about Broadband Internet Connection

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

Broadband internet connection has revolutionized the world of communication. It is the process of sending and receiving information at a very high speed through a connection which is always on. Broadband connection is faster than dial up connection and you can actually download music videos and surf web pages in seconds rather than hours. Downloading program files becomes much easier through broadband.

There are many types of broadband connection like ADSL, cable modem, satellite, and wireless. Among them the most common is the ADSL (asymmetric digital subscriber line).DSL which means Digital Subscriber Line, uses the phone line to transfer the data to the subscriber but at a frequency higher than that used for usual telephone calls. This connection can manage both the internet connection and the phone line at the same time. Therefore you can actually enjoy talking on your phone while surfing the net.DSL has two types ADSL and Symmetric DSL .ADSL has high speed downstream connection, 544 kbps up to 6.1 Mbps, but slow upstream connection, ranging from 16 up to 640 Kbps.

In cable connection the information is transferred by the cable television to the subscriber through an optical fiber .the bundle of optical fiber can transfer the data without tampering signal frequencies in any way.

Apart from this, IDSL, HDSL, and SDSL are also broadband connections. While IDSL is similar to DSL, it works well when the travel is more than 6 miles. However IDSL is not provided by ADSL providers. HDSL is High bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line. It is used for wideband transmission from the provider to the subscriber and at both the ends the bandwidth is same. It is also used within a close circle like an office.

Therefore choose the type of broadband connection which suits your purpose and need. Stay connected, Stay ahead.
