Lastly if you do decide to move providers your existing Broadband supplier may try to entice you with a free upgrade / reduced cost in order to keep your business which may simplify your decision. In Britain, the most common broadband speed available is up to 8Mbit/s. Broadband has been around now for quite a few years now. So why do we still advertise broadband with a comparison to dial-up? For example, 8Mbit/s can be promoted as up to 160 times faster than dial-up! Broadband is available to 99.6% of the UK while dial-up is perhaps only found in the most rural parts. It is already safe to say that dial-up is a thing of the past.
