Mac compatible broadband explained

Essentially, all UK ISPs offer broadband that can be used on Mac computers, but a number of drawbacks are commonly found, by Macintosh users when they try to connect.

Why choose a "Mac friendly" broadband provider?

  • Wireless routers supplied with the above packages are compatible with Macs. Most ISPs offer broadband modems or routers that are pre-configured to ‘plug in and play’ – but often only for PCs. Not all free modems and routers provided by ISPs are compatible with Macs, leaving users at a frustrating loose end.
  • Technical support will be geared towards solving Mac-specific connection and installation problems. Some of the above ISPs offer comprehensive live online, as well as offline, technical support.

With an ever increasing number of Apple Macs, iMacs and iPhones being sold every year, the need for Mac-friendly broadband is increasing. Compare the packages above to find the best Mac-friendly option for your needs.
