ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this piece of valuable information! Of course,I do know a few of the advantages of having a broadband for connection. However,the information you've provided is more than I thought.
I'd like to share some experience of mine using Broadband here. The illustration below is for Celcom,Maxis and Digi broadband.
For the advantage of large volume of data that can be transferred, filesharing as well as downloading movies and songs,I don't deny the fact that broadband really has these advantages. However,when the data has reached its limit,though they will be no extra charge for use after the limit,the speed will decreased more than 50%. Then,surfing the Net will be really slow.
Apart from that,broadband connection might be affected by the weather.When the weather is going to be heavy rainy day,the connection might be weakened and thus,affect the connection speed.
i like your scrapebook! its really interesting for me! simple but it contain a lot of information.
ReplyDeletethanks for providing me this useful information. Nowadays broadband become very essential in connecting to internet and as we lives in globalization era, broadband become very important tool for us to keep in touch with others who're thousand miles apart. besides, it's easy to bring along together with us because its comes in small size. even though it's small but we can downloaded a lot of materials easily and instantly.
