One of the great tools to be found on the Think Broadband website is a user-friendly forum. There are several different categories, which make it relatively easy to scan the topic groups and find the information you are searching for. Here are some examples of the topic sections that are available on the forum.
‘Broadband not-spots and slow spots’ is invaluable to anyone who uses mobile broadband services. You can find out which areas of the UK have the best mobile broadband connections and who supplies them. You can also find out where the connections tend to be under 2Mbps or are non-existent. Knowing information like this ahead of time can save you a great deal of frustration.
For people who are interested in upgrading to broadband or just have questions about how the services work, there is the ‘General Broadband Chatter’ section. Here you can ask the simplest questions without fear of ridicule. Because this particular section is open to anyone, you can post your query anonymously if you wish.
If you are looking to engage in a little mobile broadband comparison, the ‘Mobile Broadband’ section is the place to search. You’ll find discussions about the mobile broadband services currently available, opinions on the quality of the service and speed and just about anything else you would like to know. This section is strictly for discussion on mobile broadband, so subjects related to wireless broadband are addressed in other areas of the forum.
Finally, there is a section for people to share their stories of woe with different broadband deals and providers. This is a great place to find out what can happen when things go wrong, as well as how the different providers handle the situation. Taking a look here can help you side step a deal that looks good on the surface, but may have problems underneath that shiny facade.
Bear in mind that some of the sections of the Think Broadband forum are open for anyone to participate. However, others are restricted to registered users only. Try viewing the different sections as a guest and if you want to jump into a conversation that is restricted, simply register and move forward with your comments.
