Learning About Internet Service Providers and Your Download Rates

By Steven MacHill


Most people today when looking at subscribing to an internet connection are looking at high-speed internet. While there still is a limited market for dial-up service, it's definitely shrinking as DSL service is very competitively priced as the low-cost alternative for a broadband connection.

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.

Both AT&T Uverse and Verizon FiOS are two providers with similar offerings. FiOS isn't as widespread in the marketplace as Uverse, but both products are excellent, with fast download speeds and interactive smart television technology. Either one of the providers would be a good choice to look into if available where you live. Check out the reviews on either provider once you determine availability.

Focusing on ATT Uverse, this plan is in high demand. Uverse has download speeds up to an amazing 24 Mbps. With this type of speed you will be able to engage in any activity online you can think of - online movie and television streaming, gaming, video conferencing and more. AT&T Uverse also has a great reputation for top notch customer service. Not only that, but smart technology has television, internet and telephone interacting together to make your home entertainment experience more enjoyable.

Already have cable with a company like Time Warner Cable or Comcast? Why not read internet service provider reviews on your current cable company? Getting connected may end up being cheaper than you thought if you add internet to your current service under a bundle package.

Of course if you bundle your life insurance, homeowners plan and car insurance in one bundled plan, insurance companies will give you a pretty decent discount. Internet service providers are just like insurance companies - you can save if you bundle your telephone service, broadband and television subscriptions together.

With all of the available options to you in terms of plans and packages, you should be able to match the right download speed for your specific needs. Take a bit of time to read available reviews on your internet providers in your area.
