Broadband Setup

Companies that supply your broadband will tell you that setting up your broadband is a simple process. And in theory it is.

It is only simple for people who are familiar with PCs. If the whole process is confusing - don't worry - you are not alone! Computer Services Southport can recommend appropriate suppliers for your geographic area and system, and also set-up your new broadband account.

We have developed a very useful User Guide to Broadband to help you decipher the broadband connection jargon.

Broadband Speed

Broadband speeds are often a contentious issue with users. Check that you are getting the speeds you are paying for with our Broadband Speed Checker

Please close down all other applications that may be using the internet.
The check will start by downloading a file and will measure your download speed. Once the download has finished, the broadband speed test will try to upload a file and will measure your upload speed.
If you want to get accurate results then you should not use your internet connection for any other applications once the speed checker is running.
The broadband speed is measured in kbps (kilobits per second). Approximately 1000 Kbps is 1Mb/s.
