Broadband Choices ? Which is the best?
by Joplin DeMazzier
If you're in the market to upgrade your internet access from dial up or choose a broadband provider for the first time, it can be confusing. With the different options available, the choice to move to a broadband one is an affordable and smart one as the internet adds more and more broadband content.
The main choices the typical consumer has are DSL, cable, and fiber optic broadband service. The three have different speeds and prices, and their level of access to you can depend on location. But, they all do offer a great boost over the connection speeds one would see with dial up service.
DSL, which is installed and supported by phone companies is the cheapest but slowest of the three. The technology is limited by your distance from the phone company?s office so it may not be available in your area. Service is typically $15 - $30 a month depending on speed. For the basic user who wants to occasionally browse the web, upload some pictures, and send some emails, this is the preferred way to go.
Cable, which is run by your local cable provider, is the middle tier of broadband connectivity. Prices range from $25 - $500 per month (higher prices for commercial/business services) but allow for increased bandwidth compared to DSL.
Cable broadband has the distinct advantage of being more widely available, as you can get the service so long as the cable company can also provide you television service. If you listen to online streams, play games online, or have multiple internet users in your home, a cable connection would be the way to go.
Fiber Optic technology, which has been primarily introduced by Verizon?s FIOS, is the high end of connectivity. Since Fiber Optic cables (a cable with a small piece of glass that reflects beams of light) are required, this is not available in most areas.
There is a greater bandwidth available if you can get fiber optic service, and there is some room for the service to grow to even faster speeds. The price of this service goes from $30 to well over $200, and is perfect for a household with many internet users or those that run a home based website.
Before you choose a broadband provider, establish what you want to spend and your needs for service, and then shop around with your local carriers. Also, be aware of some carriers who can save you money on multiple services if you bundle the broadband with telephone and television service.
