| Broadband self Install is an easy means
for the user to connect to the broadband network. Self install is the most
popular option chosen by home users (and many business users) since it
generally uses a USB port modem, or a router with a built-in ADSL modem.
Soon after placing your order with your chosen
broadband supplier, you will be
assigned an activation date for your broadband connection to begin. This is
assuming your telephone line meets the current requirements for broadband
(see What Do I Need to Get Online).
You will need to purchase a USB ADSL
modem (if your broadband
supplier does not provide one for you) or router. If purchasing a
router, you will need to ensure it also has a built in ADSL modem.
Once your telephone line is enabled for broadband (activation date), you
will then need to install your modem or router. This is a straightforward
process, similar to installing any hardware device, such as a printer.
Following the instructions supplied by your broadband provider, you
simply connect to the broadband network!
You do not require an engineer for any of the above steps since updating
your telephone line is all done from the exchange and installing your
connection device (USB ADSL modem or router) is done as simply as connecting
a printer. |
