Getting The Most From Broadband
More and more people are now installing broadband internet connections, but most do not realise the full advantages of this. Broadband opens up a whole new vista of on - line applications and services.
This book starts at the very beginning in offering advice on choosing the best type of broadband connection, discussing speed requirements
and detailing the necessary equipment. It then covers connecting and setting up everything ready for use.
Broadband leaves computers more vulnerable to attack from hackers than dial-up connections, so all necessary security and safety considerations are discussed.
Broadband offers fast download speeds, but it is often difficult to achieve them, so speed optimisation is dealt with.
The many various uses and applications of broadband are then considered including blogging, audio and music, video and internet TV, phone calls, on-line photo galleries, etc, etc.
This book is written for anybody who is considering installing or who already has broadband and wants to get more from it , and also for anybody who is contemplating changing from dial-up connection to broadband.
