What factors will affect the broadband speed I can receive?

UTV Broadband uses rate adaptive broadband technology. This means your line may be suitable for our highest available speed on our Residential tariff list, or a slower speed. The actual broadband speed achievable over your phone line depends on its length, and quality of any phone wiring in your home, the specification of your modem or router, the speed of connection between your computer and modem or router (Ethernet and wireless are faster than USB), the speed of your computer, and whether all your broadband microfilters are correctly installed. If you live close to your exchange, you could get the maximum connection speed of and less the further away you are. Your broadband speed will also vary during the day depending on how busy the network is the speed of the Internet and of websites you are visiting, whether you’re sharing your connection with others in your home, and whether you have any spyware or hardware slowing down your computer. Typically your speed may reduce significantly during the daily peak period 6-9pm.
