ADSL, Asysmmetric Digital Subscriber Line, is a technology that achieves more bandwidth over existing copper telephone lines.

Flow Broadband offers you the benefit of using internet AND voice services on the same line, at the same time, without any time-based internet charges OR internet related local call charges.

Flow Residential Broadband comes in two varieties metered plans and non-metered plans. They both use ADSL technology.

Your Internet connection can seem slower from time to time often, the cause is simply that a large number of people are trying to use the Internet at the same time as you. Here are some steps you can take try and speed things up:

  • Reboot your broadband modem. You can do this by turning it off at the electricity, waiting 30 seconds and then turning it back on again.
  • Turn off file-sharing programs (also known as Peer to Peer software, or P2P).
  • Examples of this kind of software are Napster, Kazaa, iMesh, eMule and so on. This type of software can consume a large chunk of your connection speed. Remember, too, that your broadband speed can only be as fast as the connection of the person you are downloading from.
  • If you're running a home network, connect your broadband device directly to one computer and recheck your speed to rule out local network problems.
  • If you're using USB, we recommend that you switch to Ethernet to get the best possible results over Flow broadband.
  • Advanced user: If you're an advanced user comfortable with using Windows DOS commands, you can also try refreshing the Windows TCP/IP component. TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) is used to send data between computers, however it can become damaged. Flow however will not be able to support you with these advanced settings.

The actual speed that you may received is affected by a number of factors such as how far away you live from the telephone exchange. We provide services ranging from 256k to 8Mb in most countries.
