Assessing Internet Service Providers in Your Area

With big names in the industry like AT&T, Verizon, CenturyLink, XFINITY, Charter, Time Warner and more, we've got you covered with top-of-the-line providers. Your choice of DSL, Fiber Optics or Cable service might be a matter of selecting the technology that is the most well-developed in your particular region. For instance, if DSL providers have spent a lot of time upgrading their equipment and infrastructure, you might want to choose that particular technology for your broadband connection. Likewise, if AT&T, Verizon or CenturyLink have invested in expanding their fiber optics networks, that might be the logical choice for you.  These reliable names among ISPs cover the majority of states.

Another important issue to identify is long-term speed requirements needed from your subscriptions. It is a good idea to assess how your internet usage might change over the next year. Asking questions about whether you might be spending more time streaming videos, playing online games, increasing social networking, or possibly downloading large files for work will help you to identify how your speed requirements may evolve.  Then, assess the speed plans available from the various internet service providers.

Internet service providers can vary in many ways, including delivery technology, speed offerings, and added incentives and extras. It can become overwhelming trying to analyze all of this information. That's where side by side comparison charts that review individual ISPs in your area can be helpful.
