Lets explore some of the disadvantages of using ADSL

ADSL is fast becoming the standard method of broadband Internet access, with its growth far outstripping that of cable. However, there are some downsides to DSL that you should be aware of.

The first downside is that ADSL pricing can be very variable ?not just between ISPs, but within the same ISP in different areas. This is because most ISPs have only installed their own equipment in a limited number of local exchanges, and are continuing to resell wholesale services for others. This can often double ISPs?advertised prices! Unless you realise whats going on, the situation can be very confusing, and ISPs make little effort to explain it to their customers.

If youre a long way away from the telephone exchange, the speed of your ADSL connection may suffer, as ADSL is very affected by physical distance. The further it has to travel, the weaker it gets. This fact makes ADSL very unsuitable for use in rural areas, where it often isnt available.

ADSL is also affected by how many other people are using your line. In a busy area, at peak times, there may be noticeable slowdown, especially if your neighbours also have ADSL and you are both have top-speed connections.

A downside with ADSL specifically, compared to other forms of DSL, is that ADSL downloads much faster than it uploads. If you frequently send files to people, or you want to host a website over your connection, this can be a big disadvantage, as you will be required to upgrade to the more expensive business services to get a decent upload speed.

Another disadvantage of ADSL is that you must have a traditional phone line, meaning that you cant take advantage of cheaper cable phone lines or internet telephony instead. This can be a relatively large fixed cost each month, often making cable a more economic choice when it comes to looking at phone service, TV and internet access together as a package.

Cheap Broadband, Or Is It?

Choosing your broadband package isn't a decision to be taken lightly. With so many different offers floating around it's sometimes easier to just head for the cheapest and hope for the best. But the cheapest isn't necessarily the best, as many dissatisfied broadband customers have already found out.

First impressions are as important for a broadband provider as they are for someone going for a job interview. They want potential customers to be instantly attracted to their company, so they advertise a nice low monthly fee, usually under 10. This of course grabs a consumer's attention and they sign up unthinkingly, only to find out later that they're stuck in an 18 month contract paying much more than the 10 they initially expected.

Of course, this is a slightly exaggerated scenario, but the fact remains that there are usually hidden costs when it comes to a broadband package. For example, the initial monthly cost may not take into account the line rental, which is payable to BT on top of the payment you make to your ISP. There may also be a one-off connection charge, usually around 30-40, which you have to pay before you can commence with the service.

Introductory offers are something to be aware of. Often a broadband provider will let you have the first few months of a contract at a low price, only to bump up the payments later. Also check the cost per minute of the helpline numbers, for if something goes wrong you may discover you spend more trying to fix it than you would have saved on your broadband.

More often than not a cheap broadband package will have a lower download limit. If you use the internet a lot, it's worth paying slightly more per month for a higher limit, as the costs of going over this could be much higher. And downloading doesn't just mean taking music and videos off the web. Anything you do on the internet, including sending emails, shopping or even just browsing sites, counts towards your download limit.

The golden rule is, you can't go by first impressions when it comes to your broadband provider. Look beyond the lovely low monthly offer and into the murky depths of the hidden charges.
