| BROADBAND UPDATE |
Broadband is just about here for Sheringham,
Beeston Regis, Upper Sheringham and West Beckham. I know many of you have now got
your orders placed and are looking forward to the new service. Cromer now has
broadband, as does East Runton. So what about West Runton? Well West Runton has recently
hit is trigger level of 200 registrations, which means broadband should be available by
around June. A quick recap on the benefits and costs of broadband Internet access.
1) No more dialling for a connection, the service is available all the time without
needing to dial up.
2) No more frustrating disconnections. You don't get cut off on a regular basis as the
service is there all the time
3) Its far faster to down load email and browse web site.
4) The £27 to £29 per month service, will usually be 10 time faster at receiving
information than a standard modem and 5 times faster sending.
5) The cost of using the service is fully inclusive; therefore you can use it as much as
you like without having to worry about the phone bill.
6) Another great advantage is than it shares a single standard BT phone line, which means
you can make or take incoming or outgoing voice calls, in the normal way, whilst you're
using the internet.
7) Most Internet Service Providers (AOL, Freeserve) have a broadband service it is not
just limited to BT.
What are the typical costs? Set-up costs (based on a single PC). New broadband
modem £35 to £50, some providers provide a modem free of charge. Connection to the
service usually £50, some providers may offer this at a discounted rate.
Running costs. Typically £27 to £30 per month, which includes any amount of usage
within the fee. If you are considering a move to broadband and would like some free
