What Is the Difference between ADSL and Cable? (#5110)
ADSL provides an always on high-speed Internet access over a single dedicated telephone line. ADSL connections use a standard telephone jack, and information is transmitted over a private line (BT).

Cable Internet services offer an always on high-speed Internet access over a shared cable television line. Cable modems use a coaxial cable that runs from a cable TV hook-up to a computer. This service is transmitted over a shared cable line.

What Can I Do if ADSL is Not Available in My Area? (#5118)
You can register your interest for ADSL to be made available in your area here. There are set targets made by BT and once the target level is reached then they will upgrade that exchange.

If your exchange is not yet enabled for ADSL you can go here and see how many people have registered an interest in your area.

Is There An Independant BroadBand Selector Tool/Facility (#11238)
Yes, Try this. It does not provide any service ratings but will identify 'the cheapest' available in your area. U Switch will also allow you to compare prices, features, service and connection speeds in your local area and apply online

Check out U Switch for more information.

Is there a way to compare different ISP's on their speed, reliability etc? (#11420)
ADSL Guide offers users to compare several internet service providers on their speed, reliability and customer service for each month. These ratings were collected from users that are using that service provider.
