20. UPC Is a Cable broadband provider which means that the internet is transported through Coaxial cables which delivers a signal for the internet. You can get a package of digital TV, fibre power broadband and home telephone. This may be ideal for someone who runs their business from home as they get additional features that can be used outside of work i.e. Digital TV.

23. UPC The previous charts were the different plan providers that UPC have for people living in the Loughlinstown area. The plan that would be best suited for my business from UPC would be the Fibre Power Broadband 30 & Home Phone Anytime world. The reason that this package could potentially be one of the options I would take would be because they supply me with a landline which gives me free calls to other landlines and internationally. Another reason would be that although it is the second most expensive plan/month at €52.00 it is worth it as the download and uploading speed are high which gives me faster connectivity to attach emails, download music and a higher standard for Skype.

24. ADSL Companies ADSL broadband enables data to travel through copper telephone lines. It is one of the fastest means of broadband and it is very cost effective. An advantage of using an ADSL line is that you are connected to one phone line therefore you know that your line is private. An ASDL line offers download speeds of up to 8Mb/s and upload speeds of 800Kb/s. Eircom is the principal provider of fixed line telecommunications servers in Ireland with 2.6 million users.

26. Price plans start at €24.99 up until €74.99 this range is very cost effective considering some UPC plans are more expensive.

27. The majority of plans have benefits of and ADSL/phone line, line rental included, free calls to landlines and free calls to international.

28. The download speed ranges from 1Mb to 24Mb giving the buyer a variety of choice.

29. The upload speed ranges from 128kb to 768kb this is important especially for a business if most contact is done via emails as attachments, files, photos will be uploaded quickly. http://www.bonkers.ie/provider-directory/29-eircom

31. Advantages of using mobile broadband are that it is portable and there is no need for wiring, cables etc.

32. Disadvantages of using mobile broadband are that the reception may vary due to location which effects different functions of the dongle such as satisfactory Skype connection. Also the band width is less than other types of broadband. http://www.bonkers.ie/compare-broadband/dublin-18/broadband-in-loughlinstown/

38. Advantages of using wireless broadband is that many computers can connect to this router without disturbing other users and it can also be accessed in different areas around the house. There is usually a 100metres radius from the router if one goes further than this the connection gets lost.
