If you listen to or read any of the advertising and promotion for broadband, you will often hear the terms ‘superfast’ and ‘ultrafast’ being used. These refer to services that deliver download speeds or more than 30Mbps. Other types of service are just referred to as ‘broadband’, which you can interpret as ‘standard’ broadband. But, how do you know which is the best business broadband?
The answer to the headline question then is quite simply, ‘speed’ – and it’s the theoretical download speed that you need to focus on, rather than the terms used to describe it.
The other really fundamental difference is the kind of cable being used. A standard, ADSL service will be delivered over copper wires; a ‘superfast’ or ‘ultrafast’ service will be provided largely through fibre optic cables, although the last part of that connection to your premises is still likely to be over copper.
