What's Download Speed Got to Do With It? Research Internet Service Providers and Plans

By Steven MacHill


These days, dial-up is not exactly a hot commodity, especially since some DSL service packages are only a few dollars a month more. Sure, there are a few people who truly need only limited internet access. However, most people today looking to sign up for an internet subscription want high-speed access..

So where do you begin? Even though it's been around for 20 years, the internet technology has definitely become more sophisticated and difficult to wrap your mind around. Why not begin with a good online resource that focuses on education and internet providers online reviews.

Start by learning the similarities and differences between various technologies, including cable, wireless, DSL, satellite and fiber optics internet providers. Think you want a fast download speed? What's fast for one technology may be on the slow side for another technology. Make sure you compare the various providers plans and packages to see how they compare to each other.

Take for example Verizon Fios, a service not nearly as popular as At&t Uverse but many say it's excellent. This new broadband platform was just introduced in 2007 and delivers some of the fastest internet speeds of all providers. Whether or not At&t Uverse is available in your area, reading a few Verizon Fios reviews may be of great interest to you.

Of course, speaking of ATT Uverse, there's a reason why this high speed internet service has exploded in popularity. Not only do they offer download speeds up to 24 Mbps which is perfect for gaming, sharing, streaming videos, downloading movies and video conferencing, they are just an all-around fantastic company with exceptional customer service. Plus, their smart technology enables telephone, television and internet to work seamlessly together.

Perhaps you already have a broadband subscription from a cable internet provider like Comcast or Time Warner Cable. Check out internet service provider reviews and see if perhaps you can bundle additional services to bring the cost of your subscriptions down.

Most everyone is aware that when you stick with one insurance company for all of your coverage needs, you can end up saving a pretty significant amount over purchasing plans a la carte from various companies. Internet providers are the same way - they will pass along savings to you if you bundle your services together, including telephone, internet and television.

If you are looking for fast download speeds, you have a lot of options available to you. All you really need to do is take a little time to read reviews and compare them side-by-side to pick the best service that will fulfill your needs.
