WHAT IS BROADBAND? GETTING STARTED USING BROADBAND GLOSSARY
CAN I USE MY PHONE/FAX WHILST SURFING THE INTERNET?
Yes, broadband enables both telephone calls and your internet connection to work simultaneously. This is achieved by plugging a filter (sometimes known as a splitter) into all phone sockets that are used for any phones in the premises i.e. all extensions. You will also need one if you connect your Sky Digibox to a telephone socket, allowing voice and internet to be used at the same time. Some fax machines are not able to be used at the same time as your internet connection — you will need to check with the retailer before you purchase.
