Tips for improving your line speed

line speedk

One of the factors that affects the speed of your broadband connection is your line speed – the maximum broadband speed your telephone line will physically support.

Your line speed is determined by a number of factors, including how far you live from the exchange, the quality and length of any telephone extension cables/sockets in your home and radio interference or random noise interruption.

Protect your PC from viruses

computer virus

There are many different types of virus that can infect your PC – some are designed to destroy information, others cause your PC to crash, while others just clog your computer with useless data, slowing it down.

As well as the loss of vital information and the cost of recovery and repair to your PC, there is also the risk that you’ll pass on a virus to an acquaintance via email, causing them damage and inconvenience.

Karoo offers a 30 day free trial and 10% off the recommended retail price of the F-Secure Internet Security Suite for Windows, which will help protect you against viruses. For more information click here
