Whenever new broadband technology arrives, it normally means months and months of roads being dug up thus causing inconvenience for everyone. However, this is all set to change with the new plans to plant the cables into Britain's sewers.

The new method of laying the cables saves time and money. The normal method of digging roads up usually takes around 12 months to wire a 2km run, however the new method allows the teams to cover the same distance in 4 hours. This is an amazing revelation and would save a considerable amount of taxpayer's money and with the staggering cost of traffic disturbance from digging up roads at 4.5bn and if a company can avoid adding to it then they must be commended.

For broadband users, there are many good points to come from this. As well as having a brand new, faster broadband available, they will not have the inconvenience of roads being blocked due to road works. Due to rise in popularity of watching TV shows and programmes via the internet, the new broadband will allow people to watch the shows as if they were watching them on a television.

Broadband connections are becoming more and more the norm, not only in the business world but also in the home. This is, of course, largely driven by the fact that prices for this type of high-speed connection are becoming increasingly affordable, but broadband also fits in well with the fast-paced lifestyles of today. Clearly, broadband brings with it a wealth of benefits for the individual user, but it is also important to consider how this might fit in with an environmentally-friendly lifestyle.

The key environmental disadvantage of broadband is the fact that it can be left on at no extra cost (in terms of call charges) and without tying up a telephone line. This is very convenient for home users wanting to keep an eye on their email, for example, but means that the power usage of the computer is higher than when logging on to the internet was just a brief once or twice a day activity.

From a work perspective, however, broadband has provided the opportunity for some flexible, eco-friendly business practices. Home working, for example, is a much more feasible option thanks to the speed of a broadband connection, this potentially greatly reducing the mileage required for commuting to and from the workplace. In addition, the much more viable option of teleconferencing can reduce business miles both on a national and international scale.

Basically it is important that broadband is used wisely. Business can use it to real environmental advantage and home users can also reduce any negative environmental impact. Staying online unnecessarily should certainly be avoided and it is also worth ensuring that the PCs or laptops themselves are being used in a power-saving way. Check with the manufacturer for the most energy efficient way of using the computer and bear this in mind in along with the basic premise of not using it for the sake of it.
