How to look for the best Internet deals

Like most everything, we want to constantly be on the look out for a good deal. When it comes to Internet, we most likely have several service providers to choose from. This is usually a good thing, this way we will have more options, which increases the likelihood that we are going to find the service we want.

Where to find Internet Services?

Local Internet offers
If you have an internet connection, or access to one, you will be able to search for local internet or broadband offers. This is a possibility if you already have Internet but are looking to switch providers because, your internet service is slow, or overpriced. Often, companies that offer telephone and cable services also sell Internet services. You may be able to even get a discount if you bundle all of your services into one package, making one payment for you and one provider for all of your services. Some providers' feature bundles that are a percentage cheaper then ordering their services separately. If you do not have Internet, you can call a provider and find information on their products.
Some things that you should consider doing before you choose a provider -Find out what other providers are out there. -Find product reviews, what people have to say about specific providers, things such as customer service and product performance. -Make sure that you compare prices for services with other providers and the services they are selling to find the cheapest broadband provider. You may find that because of competition, one service will have specials, or discounts for new users.

What is broadband?

Definition
Broadband is a reference to a telecommunications signal that is stronger than another. Companies will use this term to say that their network is faster then another company. The amount of bandwidth you will be getting, may not be what they say it is.
Download speed A company might state a number or download speed, but this is usually far from what you will receive. When you are downloading, things that will contribute to your speed are where you are downloading from and how many other users are downloading. If a server can send out 7mb a second in upload to another computer, and you can download at 7mb then, you should be able to get it at 7mb. That is the bandwidth of transfer. However, if 20 people are downloading or using the connection, it will be divided up. Therefore, you will get a slower connection because users have to share bandwidth. The same goes for Internet providers, in peak times, your bandwidth might be lower because more people will be sharing the processing power.
