We are fortunate to have Charter cable, which we use and works great. But unless we went to a satellite service, cable is really all we have available to us as a high-speed broadband connection.  AT&T is heavily advertising Uverse in the St Louis marketplace, but when we checked on its availability we were told that CenturyLink has most of the infrastructure under contract in the St Charles County area — which is where we live.  Even at that, CenturyLink does not offer DSL anywhere near our wooded subdivision. So for the time being we feel we are very fortunate to a have high-speed cable connection, because there are still some outlying areas very near to us that are not wired for cable and are too remote for DSL — even though they are still considered a part of the greater St Louis metropolitan area.

What we are referring to is using the Internet to learn how to make soap! Amazingly, one woman, who now has a successful soap making business, said she learned her entire trade on the Internet!  She was looking for an opportunity and decided to look online. Because of a slow Internet connection speed, however, she told us: “I searched for Internet service providers in my area and was quickly hooked up with a fast broadband connection.” Using this new mobility, she joined some soap making forums, read detailed online soap making instructions, had many questions answered by other soap makers — and in no time at all she was making soap!  She now successfully sells her soaps to boutiques and bath stores in over 12 states!

While South Africa certainly has some modern cities, the country also has many remote areas that have not yet been offered Internet service.  Like so many countries, the government is recognizing that high-speed broadband is necessary to attract companies that create jobs into these areas.  And while there may be many Internet service providers in my area, as well as the area where you live, South Africans apparently do not have that luxury.

That is about to change for many isolated communities.  Maxwell Technology has been designated to market South African satellite broadband.  The new product, named SkyeMax is actually powered by SkyeVine.  “As specialists in VSAT [Very Small Aperture Terminal] communications across Africa, we have been searching for an entry-level, affordable satellite broadband option that will provide ubiquitous coverage,” said the technical director for Maxwell, Kallie Carlsen.  She said SkyeMax will address the needs of many underserved small markets.  SkyeMax has been optimized to reach remote areas — many of which will be getting their first taste of high-speed broadband.

I understand. Locating the best internet service providers in my area was a real challenge for me. Let’s face it, there is a lot of hype in the media about all the new technology when it comes to the internet. Terms are tossed around like WiFi, Fiber Optics, High Speed Broadband, and a host of others. But if you don’t understand what these things mean, how can you possibly know what you want, or need, when it comes to getting yourself online? Needless to say, the whole issue can become rather confusing and even frustrating when you are a novice.

Many folks, and I include myself in that number, have found the simplest way to find the best service for their individual needs is to begin with an online search for providers by zip code. This search will lead you to websites that list all of the options available in your geographic area — and will then describe all the foreign-sounding terms in simple English you can understand. If you are like me, you’ll find the whole process is much easier once you understand exactly what is available to you. Then it is simple to do a side-by-side comparison of the services and prices offered by companies serving your community.

First I looked into the major internet service providers to see what they offer in my neighborhood.  I found that I had some choices between plans, but the ultimate high speed fiber optic connections were not available.  I then compared these to my local cable provider, and found that the speed is actually higher.  I also looked into satellite, and local companies.  Because speed is important to me, I chose cable, since the speed was bundled in with other services and I could save the most money and get the service I needed.

As if all of the reasons to switch to Verizon Fios weren’t enough, high speed internet, media streaming and television become integrated through Fios’ new internet radio stream service beginning immediately. This service is provided by Clear Channel’s IHeartRadio, which consists of 387 radio stations worldwide. Because Fios requires a home computer to transcode television and radio signals, users will be able to enter any URL and play it via any media playing device.

To find out if Fios is one of the internet service providers in my area is my first order of business.  High speed internet and entertainment bundling make this an exciting time to get in on the fun.
