What is Broadband?
Broadband is a kind of Internet connection. This connection can allow multiple users to access Internet information at extremely high speeds. High-speed (or high data rate) means
you will be able to navigate large websites and enjoy multimedia-rich
applications such as streaming audio at significantly higher speeds
than dial-up access.
Additionally,
broadband connections are “always-on” so you don't
have to waste time dialing in.
As soon as the computer boots up, you are connected to the service
and can begin working!

What does Download and Upload
mean?
There are two directions information travels on a broadband connection.
"Download" refers to information going from the Internet
to your computer, like when a new web page is loaded. "Upload"
refers to information traveling from your computer to the Internet,
like the mouse-click that tells a web page where you'd like to
go next. While most high-speed connections have a significantly higher download than upload. Walkabout Communications connections are synchronous. This means the download and the upload are set to the same transfer rate.

What speeds can I expect?
Depending on the level of service you select, you will experience
burstable speed from 256Kbps to 1.5Mbps.

What does Burstable mean?
Your Internet traffic (in/out) can burst up to speeds for short
periods of time during the day without traffic being limited to
that specified in your contract. This added flexibility means
that you can temporarily send and receive larger bandwidth requirements
without your needing to purchase more bandwidth for intermittent
peaks.

How does the installation work?
Installation consists of installing our equipment on the top of
your residence or building. We run outdoor rated category 5 ethernet cable to your router. If coming through an exterior wall, we will install a wall jack and face plate. A patch cable will then connect to your router or single computer..
