VoIP is Voice over Internet Protocol. Standard telephone lines are referred to as PSTN or the Public Switched Telephone Network. PSTN works on circuit switching. A good example of circuit switching is the old switchboard operator who would connect callers to receivers by the use of electrical circuits. VoIP is Packet Switching. Packet Switching consists of data packets, or packets of information being carried across the Internet, from your computer to either another computer or PSTN telephone.

VoIP operates in different forms. For instance, you can use VoIP when you use an Instant Messaging program with voice on your computer. These are very popular and now Yahoo, AOL, MSN, ICQ, and even Google have VoIP Instant Messaging programs. The benefits of these programs are that they are free to download off of the Internet, and by using a microphone and your speakers; you can talk over the Internet with any of your buddies. As long as your friends and family members download the same program, you will be able to talk with them as long as you like, and absolutely free. You can talk to anyone, anywhere in the world with VoIP Instant Messengers.

Another method of VoIP technology is to use a VoIP service provider for your basic telephony needs. A very familiar company is Vonage. For a monthly fee, you will receive VoIP services, the same as you pay for your regular telephone services. You can choose to use your VoIP service over the Internet, or you can choose to connect your VoIP to your standard telephone. By connecting a VoIP phone adapter to your modem and standard phone, you will be able to use your VoIP service and your telephone as you would with any other telephone service provider.

Many people prefer to use a VoIP service provider because the cost of local and long distance calling with VoIP is very inexpensive. Many providers offer unlimited calling plans. There are other features that are often bundled with your service plan. Features such as Voicemail, Caller ID, Call Waiting, Call Transfer, and 3 Way Calling are often included for free in your selected VoIP plan. By choosing your VoIP service provide and installing a phone adapter, you will be on your way to making low cost VoIP calls in minutes.

You can also purchase a specialized VoIP phone. These phones come in both cordless and corded styles. The cordless VoIP phones work the same as standard cordless phones.

Many of these phones also come with conferencing features and are suitable for small or home business needs.

Another form of VoIP telephones are the VoWiFi phones. These are wireless VoIP phones. This is the same technology as VoIP, only you are not limited to a plugged in connection. You can use your VoWiFi phone wherever there is a wireless High Speed Internet Connection. These phones are more expensive then mobile phones, and haven't had all of the kinks worked out yet. However, they are still a cost effective choice for those who would like to save a little money.

VoIP has proved to be a viable source of telecommunications. Many companies are now offering VoIP services and those who aren't have plans to do so. Companies such as Verizon and Sprint offer VoIP services. Other companies are working on creating VoIP phones and VoWiFi phones.

There are Hybrid phones on the market, which allow for both VoWiFi and Cellular calling. These phones have many people excited. They can work in a network range as a cellular phone, and then, they can work as a VoWiFi phone, avoiding all roaming charges.

The FCC has issued some regulations regarding VoIP and the ability to call 911. Because VoIP uses the Internet and not a landline phone, when a call is made to 911 from a VoIP connection, the operator who receives the call receives none of the caller's pertinent information. This includes address or location of the call. Some service providers do not supply 911 at all; others have what is known as Enhanced 911 services. To use these services you may need to activate your service, as well as register your information with 911. However, you will need to sign a statement when you apply for your VoIP services stating that you understand your 911 capabilities may be limited.

HDTV: Reasons For Getting It

As soon as supporters of HDTV introduced it back in 1998, word spread that people would have a radically new TV viewing experience. With high definition television, you would be watching your favorite TV shows with improved picture quality and hear it through digital surround sound that made you feel as though you were part of the scenes.

HDTV: What Is It?

HDTV surpasses regular analog television technology. With HDTV you'll notice crisper and clearer images that your older analog television can't match. With the older analog technology, the television receives wave signals on the air. The quality of the picture is diminished when these signals are converted to the screen. Signals to LCD HDTV or plasma HDTV are sent digitally, without losing the overall quality of the images received.

HDTV: Function and Benefits

The US is phasing out analog broadcasting and replacing it with digital broadcasting. When the deadline arrives in 2009, your analog TV will not work, unless it has a converter. Right now, your analog TV set will still work so you might be wondering why you would want to have an HDTV right now:

The picture quality of HDTV is better and you can see tiny details even on bigger screens.

HDTV multicasting allows stations to broadcast several programs in one line.

Viewers can participate in shows or movies, which have interactive content, such as games or contests.

HDTV will use the entire screen to display its signal, whereas analog sets use only every other pixel line.

You can expect to see all the brilliant colors and images from channels that broadcast HD.

HDTV Problems

Some HDTV models are quite expensive. It's impossible to get High Definition programming through your older analog television. However, new televisions are built to be able to receive HD signals. If the television you buy doesn't have a built-in tuner, you'll need to look at HDTV antennas or HDTV tuners.

Shopping For An HDTV?

It's best to see HDTV for yourself. By studying HDTV reviews and listening to only good buying advice, you'll soon be enjoying a new way of watching television you've never seen before.

• How To Decide Whether Or Not HDTV Is Right For You?
• Professor Poor’s Guide to Buying HDTV – Second Edition

Recently it’s become difficult to open a newspaper or turn on the TV without hearing about the latest, cheapest and best broadband package from the UK’s growing number of broadband providers. When each Internet Service Provider (ISP) claims to provide the best broadband package it’s difficult to select the most suitable option.

There a number of different criteria you should consider before signing up with a new broadband provider; here we look at what you should consider when you compare broadband packages.

So who needs broadband?

If you want to access the internet at a decent speed, download music, films, play online games or use internet phone (VoIP) then you should strongly consider getting broadband. If you intend to use your broadband connection for a number of these activities then you need to consider download limits.

If you only intend to use your internet connection for surfing the web and sending the occasional email high download limits and speed should not be a major concern. If you fall into this category price, level of customer service and reliability of connection should be taken into consideration.

It’s worth looking at the freebies included in broadband packages such as those offering free wireless broadband as part of the subscription. Down loading music, games, films, video clips, playing online games, and the use of internet phone services such as Skype, Vonage and Demon all require data to be downloaded. The more you use your broadband connection for these activities the greater the download limit you will require. For users who are heavy down loaders an unlimited broadband package is the best option as these set no limit on your monthly downloads.

So what about broadband speed?

Download speed is the rate with which data is transferred from the internet to your computer. Download speed is measured in megabits per second, commonly abbreviated to Mb. Broadband speeds on offer can vary greatly; it is currently available from 512k (0.5Mb) to 22Mb. A 512k connection is still 10 times faster than dial up and will be fine when generally surfing the net and sending emails. However, if you like downloading lots of music or video and playing games online, you might want to consider a faster connection. In general, a 1 or 2Mb connection will offer you the best balance between performance and price and will be more than adequate for the vast majority of broadband users.

Should you go Wireless?

Wireless broadband has a number of advantages and is now offered as a freebie with some UK broadband providers. Wireless broadband will allow you to access your broadband connection from any where in close proximity of your wireless router (the device enabling your connection to be wireless). Unless you live in a small castle this should allow you to access broadband anywhere within your home. A further advantage of wireless broadband is that you can share the connection between multiple computers within the household though you will be splitting the speed of connection by doing so and you are likely to require a higher download limit if a number of people are accessing the connection. An additional consideration, and one that is surprisingly often ignored, is to remember to add a password to your connection if you chose wireless broadband. Importantly this will stop other people, perhaps neighbours, using your broadband connection which presents a security risk and will affect the performance of your broadband connection.

A final consideration should be security measures

It is highly advisable to purchase an antivirus package to protect your computer and avoid falling victim to online fraud. A firewall will offer further protection. Different levels of security are offered with different packages, these include parental controls, antivirus software and firewalls, some broadband packages will include all 3 as part of package.

So you've heard the news: a new technology is around that lets you make phone calls, even long-distance phone calls, for free! You'd like to try it, but it sounds rather complicated. What is this VoIP, anyway? Here's a quick question-and-answer guide to VoIP and how you can make free online calls without reading tons of technical jargon.

What is VoIP?
VoIP means Voice over Internet Protocol. In plain English, it means that in exactly the same way you use the Internet to send letters through email, you can now send your voice through VoIP, to make free phone calls to anywhere in the world.

How does it work?
1. You talk through your computer microphone or your VoIP phone.
2. Your voice is turned into computer data.
3. It is sent through the Internet (like email) to your VoIP service provider.
4. They send it to the phone number you are calling so your friend can receive your call.
5. When your friend talks on his phone, his voice reaches you the same way, but in reverse: from his phone, to your service provider, to your Internet, to your phone or computer.

How is the sound quality different from a regular phone?
With good Internet connection, your friend won't know the difference. If your connection is slow, you will sound like you are calling from a cellphone with bad signal. Most companies will not install VoIP for dial-up connections.

What is a VoIP service provider?
A VoIP service provider is like a phone company that connects your VoIP phone to your friend's landline.

What is a VoIP phone?
It looks like a regular phone, but it has a software and modem installed so you can connect to the Internet and make VoIP calls without having to turn on your computer. You dial it like a regular phone, and if somebody calls your VoIP number, it rings like a regular phone.

Are the phone calls really free?
Yes, if you download and install on your computer a VoIP software, like Skype. This will let you make free calls to anyone in the world who has the same software loaded in his or her computer.

You can also use Skype or other VoIP service providers to call a local or long-distance landline number or mobile phone. There will be a small charge, but it is still much cheaper than if you use a regular phone to make your call. In addition, pay features on regular phones-like call waiting, call forwarding, call barring, conference calls, caller ID and voice mail-are usually free on VoIP.

Rates and features vary with different service providers so be sure to ask your company what they offer.

Can I call my friends even if they don't have VoIP?
Yes.

And can my friends call me?
Yes. Your friends can call your VoIP number in the same way they call a regular landline. You won't be charged for incoming calls. Your friends will be charged for their call in the same way that they will be charged for calling a regular landline.

Can I keep my old phone number?
Yes, depending on your VoIP service provider. Sometimes, you can even bring your VoIP phone-along with your phone number – to anywhere that has a high-speed Internet connection.

Some providers also allow you to get a phone number with a different area code. You could be in California but have a New York area code so that your business clients in New York can call you without long-distance charges. (However, if your next-door neighbor calls you, it will be long-distance for her.)

Can I get rid of my regular phone line?
Usually, yes. Again, it depends on your VoIP service provider.

An important note, though: 911 calls made through VoIP are unreliable. Also, they will not be able to track your location automatically, as when you are using a regular phone. If you get rid of your phone line, consider using your cellphone instead of your VoIP to call 911.

So, what do I need to use VoIP?

A high-speed Internet connection. This means DSL or cable, NOT dial-up.
A regular phone with VoIP adaptor OR a VoIP phone OR a computer with a microphone and earpiece.
A VoIP service provider.

Can I use VoIP without an Internet connection?
No.

Can I use my computer while talking on the VoIP phone?
Absolutely, although using the Internet for other purposes while using VoIP may affect the quality of your call.

Can I use VoIP without a computer?
Yes, if you have a VoIP phone and your Internet is active.

Can I use VoIP without a VoIP phone line?
Yes, if you have a computer with a VoIP program, a microphone and earpiece.

Will it work in a power outage?
Unfortunately, no.

How do I know if VoIP is for me?
VoIP is a great money-saving option for people who are always on the Internet, and VoIP is a great money-saving option for people who have a high-speed connection.

VoIP is a great money-saving option for people who often make calls to long-distance, international, or mobile numbers.

VoIP is a great money-saving option for people who move around the country, and VoIP is a great money-saving option for people who would like to take their landline number with them wherever they go.

VoIP is a great money-saving option for people who need to have an area code in another locality.

How do I find a VoIP service provider?
For VoIP calls using your computer, you can simply download a VoIP program like Skype or Vonage from the Internet.

To find a service provider for VoIP phones, simply type "VoIP" and the name of your country in the search bar of your favorite Internet search engine.

Are you finding the comparison of broadband packages and range of speeds bewildering to say the least? Does confusion reign? Don't reach for the tablets just yet.

I have defined the most important points you should bear in mind when comparing the wide range of broadband speeds on offer through a broadband comparison site like ChooseISP.co.uk, which allows you to compare broadband speeds of all the main UK broadband providers.

The five points below will help you to ultimately make the most suitable choice of broadband package in the easiest and fastest way possible. To coin a phrase, it will be easier than falling off a log.

Here is a 5-point check list for you to run through before making any firm decisions.

Once you have gone through it, you should have no trouble at all in making your decision about which high-speed broadband package you should choose, especially with the help of a broadband comparison table.

1. Amount of Usage

The first thing to look at, before you start comparing broadband speeds, is to decide how much you will use your broadband and for what purpose you intend using it.

For instance, if your use of the internet is considerable you should preferably choose a faster broadband connection with no download limits.

However, if you are not often online a cheaper but slower broadband connection might be preferable, even if it is possibly a bit more limited.

2. Cable or ADSL?

Where you live can have a marked influence on the speed of your broadband connection. Yes, it is definitely a case of location, location, location as the property Phil & Kirsty would have it.

Do you live in a cable area? If you do, then you will be able to receive Virgin Media Broadband packages by way of a fibre optic network which is really a bonus as cable networks almost always stick religiously to their advertised broadband speeds.

ADSL providers, on the other hand, make use of BT telephone lines which, for various reasons, are unable to provide accurate download speeds, offering only speeds "up to" a certain level.

The words “up to” should set the red lights flashing as they shrewdly disguise any speed shortcomings.

However, most places are enabled with ADSL Max, which means anything up to 8Mb.

3. Where you live is important (we did warn you about ''location''!)

Where you live is significant because, even though broadband technology has improved in leaps and bounds in the last few years, there are still some areas that are more equal than others. You have heard that hoary old chestnut before, haven’t you?

The ADSL broadband speed in one part of the UK is vastly different from that in another part due to a number of factors, for one, the condition of your phone line.

To overcome this problem, a number of broadband providers, such as Be Broadband, O2 Broadband, Sky or UK Online make use of ADSL2+ technology, replacing BT equipment in the exchanges with their own, with the result that they can offer broadband speeds of up to 24Mb.

4. Is your phone line affecting your broadband speed?

If you one of those using a BT phone line to receive your broadband, the material condition of your line and how far you are from the exchange may affect your broadband speed, as the signal strength deteriorates over distance on copper telephone wires.

If you do live some way from your telephone exchange you should seriously consider using one of the ADSL2+ providers, such as Be Broadband and 02 Broadband to trap as much extra valuable broadband speed as possible.

Take the trouble to check your actual distance from your nearest telephone exchange, as the crow flies of course, before making your decision.

5. Avoid being ''throttled'' (does your car have a throttle AND a choke? Lucky you!)

Something to remember when you are analysing different broadband speeds is that in the evenings and at other busy times, broadband providers have to organise their internet flow so as to avoid ''traffic'' jams.

This means that people who have used up their bandwidth allocation or breached the ISP's "fair use policy" in any way will have their speeds cut, or "throttled", in fairness to fellow users on the broadband service. Beware the speed police. It may be enough to make you choke.

With this in mind, always look carefully at the broadband provider's Fair Use Policy or speed management system to see how this might influence your usage.

If you think you might be affected by this, have a look at the ISP policies of providers such as Be Broadband, 02 Broadband and PlusNet, whose users speak highly of their fair policies and transparency.

What exactly is Voice over IP? There are many definitions floating around, but the most basic one is that VoIP is a collection of technologies which allow you to hold voice communication over a TCP/IP-based network.

VoIP has actually been around for quite some time. Instant messaging and collaboration programs like Microsoft NetMeeting and MSN Messenger have offered the ability to transmit sound through the computer speaker/microphone jacks, allowing remote users to actually converse.

But VoIP is ultimately reliant on networking technologies, and as it's only in recent years that reliable, high-speed TCP/IP networking has become so prevalent and affordable, it was never really considered much more than a gimmick.

However, with home users on high-speed broadband, and companies able to outfit their buildings with high-speed cabling and switches capable of handling massive throughput, the potential of VoIP as a dedicated carrier of voice communications is being realised.

VoIP does suffer from a popular over-simplification of definition. Many people think that Internet + Voice = VoIP = Free communication. As with many over-simplifications, there's an element of truth there, but the reality is always more involved.

This Book is designed to help you come to grips with exactly what VoIP is, what it does, whether it's any good for your business, and how to go about implementing it if you decide it is.
