Faster Broadband Causes Increased Competition
Super-fast broadband deals which can achieve speeds of up to 40Mb/s are likely to lead to increased competition and, thus, lower prices for consumers.
The BT Infinity service which uses fibre-to-the-cabinet technology and is part of BT Openreach’s £1.5 billion investment in its broadband infrastructure, for example, has lower prices than many of the UK’s other so-called ’super-fast’ broadband deals.
By the end of the month 500,000 properties will be connected to Infinity in the UK with up to 4 million online by the end of the year.

How Broadband Works
From fibre and cable to ADSL and VDSL, there are many ways of delivering broadband into your home. The United Kingdom is beginning to roll out next-generation broadband and with one of the main providers committing to invest £1.5bn on fibre optics the future looks rosy for lovers of the internet.
The days of dial-up are long gone and broadband has replaced the older, and much slower, way of connecting to the internet. Broadband works a completely different way and allows you faster connection speeds because your telephone line is divided into many different channels meaning information can travel in parallel streams as opposed to one single line.
