But when we talk about the handsets, undoubtedly, Nokia is the King of mobile phone market and LG stood at the third position. In this article we are concentrating on Nokia E5 from the house of Nokia and LG GM360 Viewty Snap by LG Mobile Com The Nokia Mobile Company is the undisputed leader in mobile world, they have latest technology and capability to deliver world class handsets at no extra costs. The N series, E series and C series phones have already rocked the world with th

When we’re choosing broadband, there are a lot ofconsiderations.  The market is actuallyrelatively new; it’s only around ten years ago that we were based on narrowband dial up connections of 56kbps. Nowadays, we have super fast broadband up to 100Mbps on residentialbroadband and much faster on business broadband.  It can be a confusing time when we’re lookingto select packages.  This article willlook at the importance of download speeds, data allowances, and contract lengthand then we’ll consider some of the lessons on aspects of broadband such asfixed IP address, free web space, e-mails, latency speed, and upload speed.Download Speeds,Data Allowances, and Contract LengthThe three key components of a broadband package areyour download speed, your data allowance, and your contract length.  It’s important to understand your usageprofile in order to get the right package for your requirement.  Generally, broadband providers will classifypeople as either light consumers, medium consumers, or heavy consumers.  Which category you fall in to will dictatethe speed that you require and the download allowance that will meet yourneeds.  With Sky Broadband, there is a light package thatcomes with your digital TV package.  Ifyou have a landline with Sky and any Sky package, you get 2GB of datafree.  This broadband doesn’t cost you athing and this is perhaps the only free offering out there at the moment.  However, 2GB of data equates to thedownloading of around three or four high definition movies and is therefore nota lot of data.  It’s akin to the kind oflevels of data allowance that you get on your smartphone when you have a £40 or£50 contract with a really nice premium device.This type of light package really does not sufficefor homes with multiple consumers or homes with a single heavy consumer.  To understand your usage profile, it’s a goodidea to do a broadband consumption calculation. If you type into Google ‘broadband data calculator’ you will find lotsof sites that offer the opportunity to assess the amount of data you use everymonth.  You will be given differentactivities and have to say how long you do something or how many times and fromthis you will be given an estimate of the amount of gigabytes you use permonth.  This can be good way to guide youon the kind of data allowance that you require for your home.  Indeed if you do a lot of heavy data-intensiveactivities such as streaming high definition movies, multiplayer gaming, orVoIP communication with the video turned on, you may well need fast speeds anda 4Mbps connection speed as available on some AOL packages won’t suffice.  To stream a high definition movie, you need at least5Mbps to get a seamless experience on some websites and if there are multiplepeople doing high intensity activities, you’ll need significantly more.The average broadband connection in the UK is around10 or 12 Mbps and so this will suffice for most requirements, although thosethat are particularly heavy in their activities will need a fibre opticbroadband connection in most situations.ADSL connectivity slows over distance from thetelephone exchange.  Where I am, I am 200meters from the telephone exchange and I get 20Mbps connection speeds onADSL.  This is enough for most homes, andI am a heavy user of broadband.  Youshould do a post code check to find out what’s available in your area and youshould look at the download speeds and the data allowance.A Note onDownload SpeedsIt’s important to understand that the download speedof broadband is measured as an up to figure. The Advertising Standards Agency and Ofcom have improved thetransparency of broadband advertising and now internet service providers mustadvertise speeds that are more attainable in their networks, which was not thecase in the past.However, the up to speed will be unattainable byaround 90% of consumers because of degradation of speed over distance onADSL.  Even fibre-to-the-cabinetbroadband has slowing of speed and you won’t get the full fibre speed unlessyou are on a fibre-to-the-home package such as one that is offered by VirginBroadband.Contract LengthContract length is a crucial aspect for many.  If you get yourself tied in to a 24 monthcontract and only have a 12-month tenancy, you may end up having to leave thecontract early and pay some hefty fees. Indeed, being light on your feet is good for many consumers and so youshould consider how long you are going to be paying the contract for before youcommit to it.  There are 12-monthcontracts, 18-month contracts, and 24-month contracts as standard but you canalso access rolling one-month contracts, although you have to look out forpenalties in terms of repayment of installation fees and early exit fees if youdon’t commit to the contract for a specific period.Fixed IP AddressA fixed IP address is a little known aspect ofbroadband but is very important to business consumers and gamers.  In order to be able to remotely access yourcomputer from outside your home or away from your office, it’s much easier ifyou have a fixed IP address which doesn’t change.  Essentially the IP address is the identifierfor your computer and most residential broadband packages have a dynamicaddress that changes every time you log on to the internet.Dynamic addresses mean that you won’t be able tofind your computer as you need the IP address to do so.  With gaming, it’s important to have a fixedIP address if you’re setting up game servers and many multiplayer gamesespecially on older routers which require you to have a fixed IP address inorder to function fully.  Upload SpeedsUpload speeds are the speed at which you can sendinformation upstream.  This involvessending files up to social network sites such as pictures, sending e-mails,uploading website data and images and anything that involves sending ratherthan receiving information.Upload speeds are normally less important thandownload speeds but for some the upload speed is a crucial aspect.  Upload speeds on many residential packagesare only around 0.5Mbps tops and there are business broadband packages thathave five times the speed at 2.5Mbps, for instance through Eclipse Broadband.Web SpaceAs well as getting a fixed IP address, you can getweb space through many business broadband packages.  This provides free space where you can putyour website which could otherwise cost you £3, £4, or even £5 per month on thebasic packages, or if you needed a reseller account you could be spendingaround £40 or £50 per month on a package such as Heart Internet’s.E-mail AddressesMany providers will offer you a free e-mail addressor even many free e-mail addresses. These can be branded to your business in many cases and offer you theopportunity to save on this expense. When you have a package that has web space and e-mail addresses, youhave all of the services for your business in one handy location.Latency SpeedLatency or ping is the time it takes to get aresponse from the server.  When you do aspeed test you get shown the upload, download, and ping speeds.  Ping is important for time sensitive activitiessuch as streaming and video chat. Indeed, if you don’t have a ping of better than 50 milliseconds you maywell get breaks in communication when you’re talking over the internet.  Ping is therefore very important if you enjoytalking to relatives and friends overseas on Skype or another video chatprovider.
