The Maze Of ISP Services




By Mark Woodcock

There are many different internet service provider (ISP) services
around to choose from. How do you choose one that is right for
you and your family? You need to establish what kind of internet
connection you want for your computer. Do you want dial-up
access where go through the phone line or broadband access?
Then you can begin to research different ISP services and find one
that is right for you and your needs.

Dial-up internet service is the less expensive choice, but its speed is
also slower. When you are looking for a dial-up ISP service you
need to look for one that has been around for awhile, has a steady
track record, and periodically offers software updates. You will
also want to read the fine print and find out how many email
addresses are allowed and what the amount of Web storage is. The
access numbers are very important in dial-up so you want to ensure
that there are plenty of access numbers and that there are several
available in your area code. If you travel, you will want to see if
there are toll-free access numbers to use. If you are on the internet
a great deal, then you will need to know if there is a limit on your
hours per month and what the charge is after you meet that limit.
What special software is required and which operating platforms
does it work with? Dial-up is a great option for those people who
do not use the internet very much or do not have the money in their
budget for a faster method.

DSL is faster than dial-up but it does have some disadvantages too.
DSL is distance sensitive and you need to be within 3 miles of the
central office or it will not work as well, so ask a neighbor with DSL
what their experience has been before having this ISP service
installed. It has better speed than dial-up and is always on so you
do not have to wait to be connected, so it is a great choice if you
live in a good connection area.

Cable internet service is a great choice. It has impeccable speed
and is always on. The major drawback is the price as it is
sometimes twice or more as expensive as dial-up service. You may
be able to get a deal by combining your telephone, cable TV, and
ISP service together into a package and it is worth asking your ISP
about. Some companies even offer slightly slower access with a
decreased price. Ask what deals and discounts they offer. All they
can tell you is that they do not have any discounts to offer you.

Whether you choose dial-up, DSL, or cable, make sure that the
speed meets your needs. If it does not meet your need then you
need to rethink your decision and try a different ISP service. So
find an ISP service that gives you the speed and service that you
need and surf away!
