What are the advantages of broadband over dial-up?

There are three main advantages to broadband:

Faster Connection
Orcon broadband plans are much faster than dial-up plans. Once you get a broadband connection you will wonder how you ever put up with waiting around for web pages to load, and files to download on a dial-up connection. Of course the important thing is that this means you can do loads more things online.
Free Up Your Telephone Line
No more engaged phone line while you are using your computer. Orcon broadband allows you to use the Internet and use your phone all at the same time. If you have 2 phone lines, so that you can use one for Internet access, you can get rid of the second line and save a bundle on telephone line rental. In most cases a broadband connection will be cheaper than paying for your monthly line rental and dial-up subscription fee.
No Need to Dial Up
No more annoying screechy eeee-oooo-bing-bong-bing-eeeee. That's right - your broadband connection is always on, so you can be connected to the online world in moments, any time of the day or night.
