| About kitz.co.uk |
 kitz.co.uk is one of the UK's largest adsl/broadband resource & information sites.
This site contains a wealth of adsl information such as how adsl broadband works.
There's tips on choosing an ISP,
and help comparing ISP prices. and ISP performance.
A large section of the site is devoted to self help diagnostics and what to do if you run into problems with your adsl connection,
such as how to get adsl line stats from your router to understanding
how such things as SNR and attenuation can affect your connection. There's also a vast array of tutorials and FAQs about broadband.
It is independently run, and unlike some broadband sites, we do not focus only on certain ISPs which pay commission. Although the site is well known and respected within the ISP industry, our position means that we are free to tell you 'as it is' and allows us to carry information on far more ISPs than most other broadband comparison sites.
The site is continually expanding, with new pages being added or amended. New pages are normally announced on the Forum, but below is a selection of new pages and features to the site.
