How can broadband be good for sports?

If you love sports the internet has a wealth of knowledge and resources for you but

what's out there and which broadband connection is best for the sports lover?

First, let's review the resources available for those who have an interest in sports on the internet.

Sports news which is normally relegated to the back of the newspaper or the end of a normal news bulletin on the TV or radio is given free reign online and there are a number of specialist sites available for specific sports or specific sports people as well as a number of forums where fans can talk to each other.

These resources can end up eating themselves - becoming incomprehensible to the outsider - and are responsible for much of the gossip and intrigue which has come to define the sporting world but even this is likely to be of interest to the committed sports fan.

As well as this there a number of free legal ways to watch sports online such as through recognised websites like the BBC and ITV in the UK and even more internationally.

Analysis on sport finds no greater outlet than online where millions of fans share what were once grumbles on the terraces with the whole world.

In addition, given that sport is big business, the internet can be a great way to monitor where clubs are investing, who's buying who and which stadiums are going up when.

So far, this article has assumed that the sports being referred to are the popular, usually team based, ultra-competitive kind. That is: football, baseball, basketball, netball, hockey, american football.

It's equally applicable to solo sports such as swimming and athletics.

However, it should be noted that the internet is the natural home of other sports such as mind sports - scrabble, chess, crosswords - and the professional and non-professional gaming scene.

To return to team sports, though, sports can be watched on TV using bundled broadband deals, for less money than getting the services separately.

These deals can usually be obtained through big companies such as Sky or Virgin as well as a small number of smaller companies.

The competition becomes fiercer when it comes to larger or more popular services.

For example, with many broadband deals which also allow users to get Sky Sports the broadband itself is effectively free while the subscriber just has to pay for the channels that show the sports they want to watch.
