There is a great commercial here in the states that is about competing broadband providers. It shows a husband and wife that are turtles and they are shown complaining that there internet is too fast. So the wife asks the husband to push the computer away from the house to reduce the speed of their internet connection. They are trying to make the case that cable internet is better and faster than DSL. This is true in  my opinion and you can certainly tell in videos and other heavy graphics. More and more companies are placing video and other flash animation in their sites to attract and retain more customers. The days of surfing the internet for just information are gone and it is now an entertainment vehicle.
The competition here in the US is starting to pick up but over across the pond broadband internet has been around much longer and therefore has become much cheaper than here in the states. There are companies where you can compare broadband providers to help you choose the right plan and company to fit your needs. As more people upgrade their laptops and PCs they are going to want their internet to keep up with the high speed processors. This is something that dial up cannot offer and broadband is offering more features like video on demand.

Investing directly in commodities, such as gold or oil, tends to be more difficult for investors than investing in stocks and bonds. Stocks and bonds are easily transferred between investors and are more accessible by the average investor. Commodities is some what trickier due to the complex way in which they trade through the futures and options markets. In other words, an investor can’t just buy a barrel of crude oil.

Gold is more accessible to the average person because an investor can easily purchase gold (gold in its physical form), from a or, in some cases, from a bank. However, with the advent of more advanced financial instruments, gold, along with other commodities, has become much easier to invest in without having to buy the physical metal.In general, investors looking to invest in gold directly have three choices: they can purchase the physical asset, they can purchase an ETF that replicates the price of gold, or they can trade futures and options in the commodities market.
