This is the first option in the new three-tier collection of broadband packages available from BT, combining simplicity with affordability to bring you the basic needs to surf the internet.
Whilst this option is certainly affordable the high download speeds will make it fairly easy to exceed the relatively small usage cap on the connection, so if your internet habits tend to extend above social networking and downloading a small amount of media per week, this perhaps is not the option for you.
With that being said the download limits are quite big and for everyday tasks such as checking your email and Facebook account, it will be enough. When this package is purchased, you will then be eligible to receive Digital TV over your internet connection using the BT Vision+ box, putting you in a position to easily upgrade your television viewing experience immensely.
Other things to add to the list of "making life easier" when considering the purchase of this option are the fact that parental control is integrated with the broadband connection (enabling you to control what the children or sensitive individuals can visit on the internet) and basic security is incorporated in order to get you off the ground when it comes to staying away from those world wide worries of viruses, worms and Trojans.
The built-in firewall will also protect your computer from a large percentage of internet intrusion attempts which can literally ruin lives, by protecting your computer's ports and activities.
When taken into perspective, this package is excellent value for your money. Compared to the majority of competition, similar usage limits are offered yet this option offers faster download speed, overall enhancing your online experience.
Additionally, the inclusion of the BT Home Hub into this package further improves the savings offering support for the 802.11n wireless networking standards, this combined router and modem can surpass most alternative hardware easily. This technology offers greater signal strength, which in turn means faster wireless connection speeds, increased signal range and more stability than ever before.
Now instead of being restricted to the house, you can take your laptop out into the garden and still receive a perfectly clear wireless connection, so instead of being holed up in a cramped and untidy office, it is now possible to sit out in the open and enjoy the classic British weather to its fullest whilst browsing the internet.
If you could possibly want any more reasons to purchase this simple package then try this: you get 5GB of free storage space on BT's Digital Vault, thus being able to store your photos, music and files safely and securely on the web!
