New Pc & Broadband
1 Answers
I will be a light internet user but when I use it, I'll want it to be fairly fast. Downloads will probably be restricted to music.
I am a complete novice when it comes to this, can anyone advise a good wireless broadband package?
What speeds or capacities should I be looking for?, and also what spec I should look for, for my pc?
Thanks for your help in advance.

Pretty much any speed should be more than suitable for you. An average 2Mb connection will be fine. If you have a cable service (NTL or telewest basically) in your area, I'd recommend that over ADSL broadband. That's only based on my experience though.
Crucially, check the download limit on various offers. Many are "capped," so for example you can only download 2GB of data each month. After that they'll charge you �x per extra Gb or some scheme like that. Since you want to download music, if you download a fair bit you'll want an unlimited service.
