Broadband: Section 2

To get the best from dial-up access, you need: -

• A reasonably modern computer (maximum 2-3 years old);
  
  
• Relevant and current software (this will either come pre-installed on your computer or your ISP should provide it);
  
  
• A modem which will either be internal to your computer or you will need to buy one (the minimum specification for this should be a V92 offering 56 kbps download - a reasonable brand should cost lest than £50);
  
  
• An ISP which offers unmetered access, 24 hour telephone support off a local rate or free telephone number and a comprehensive service definition and
  
  
• A second telephone line (possibly) for Internet access only.
