Broadband Options
There are a few different ways to get broadband access, but not all of them are well known. Broadband services are split into two main types:
- Private access
- Public access
Private Access
This type of broadband access is paid for by the subscriber and typically means a broadband connection provided using one of the following technologies:
- Home Broadband via land line, cable or satellite
- Mobile broadband using a dongle, an internet enable mobile phone or laptop with an integrated mobile service
Public Access
These are publically positioned wireless points that can be accessed for free or via a ‘pay as you use’ subscription. These wireless points require the user to have a wireless-enabled laptop or smart phone.
