    This report explores various means of broadband access to the Internet for two locations: The Macdonald’s Aviemore Resort and Jema’a Local Government Area, Kafanchan, and then recommends suitable means of connecting each location to the Internet. Each technology or means of accessing the Internet has its advantages and disadvantages; also the method of connectivity chosen for each location was arrived at by comparing the limitations of each technology of access to the Internet coupled with the availability of such technology in the area. For example, the VSAT technology has a simple setup and can be used anywhere, both in big cities and rural areas where access to other technologies like DSL and GPRS are difficult. In Kafanchan, DSL should not be an option because of the poor state of the Telephone company infrastructure. Again, for both locations, recommendation on the means of connectivity is given based on whether the connection is for private (personal) use at home or for corporate organizations such as Government offices and institutions. This is because deploying each technology has its cost implications, with that of VSAT and VDSL high compared to wireless broadband from mobile phone companies, therefore, when considering cost, it will be reasonable to get access to the Internet through the technologies provided by the mobile phone companies for personal (and home) use instead of VSAT technology.…
