When ADSL broadband is installed, a microfilter is plugged into your phone connection which separates the frequency of your phone line from that of your broadband connection and it is this that allows you to surf the web whilst chatting on the phone.
ADSL broadband connection comes through the BT phone line network, direct to your house, so it is the most popular type of broadband available. All the technology is already put in place so connecting up is really simple and the service is available right across the country.
