How to Choose a Internet Service Provider?

Many people asking me how to choose the right service provider and it looks like seems to be a very hard questions to address but in reality its not about the right ISP but about are you looking for and what are your preferences in terms of the services you would like to receive from an ISP. I have been working in the Telecom industry for morethan 20 years now and i saw the technology from the good old dial up to the new fiber optic technology that we are now enjoying but seems to be not even enough for our needs due to the very fast moving trasnfer of informations. I can give a few things for you to decide what are the qualities of an internet company that you should be on.

Availability

Coverage areas differ from provider to provider, so right out of the gate your choices will be limited to the providers that offer service in your area.

Price

Everyone knows what i’m talking about, the reason why there are a lot of retailer now adays is  because precisely to bring down the cost of internet for the consumers and stop those big companies to monopolise the earnings while we pay for the high cost of the being online everyday, in most cases this is the main reason.

Speed and network quality

Who wouldnt want a fast and reliable network? This is the reason for the upgrades from coppper to fiber optic. Im telling you eversince i started  in the telco industry i see a network upgrade every year to make the network real fast for the consumers benefits as well. So yes, i would like to include that not just the price but the quality of the network as well. More even these days, the new way of waching is online movie streaming and online gaming which extreamly bandwidh and data hungry.

Customer Service

Nobody wants to report their internet is broken or its lagging or whaever you call it.. It is very important to us that our service provider maintain their service properly , that they answer when we need them to fix our internet when its faulty. This is the reason why other people move to different provider because they are already had enought with those old boys- You Dial the 0800 number and hope that they answer within 30 min wait… prostrating isn’it? well, thats the reality- At the end on the day if they are  the only provider in your area, you just have to be patience. Just enjoy watching Netflix afterwards.

Compare plans, pricing, speeds, and more.

At the end of the day all you need is to compare their capabilities or there might be some freebies .

You’ll want an internet plan that gives you adequate speeds, dependable service, and a large enough data limit for the month—all at a price you can afford.

After you’ve used the broadband compare  to narrow down your choices, compare the providers in your area to see which is the best fit. All internet providers have their own specialties, and it helps to pick one that coincides with what you need the most. Here are the biggest issues to consider:

• Plans and pricing
• Speeds
• Installation and equipment costs
• Customer satisfaction ratings
• Data caps and overage fees

Some providers deliver ultrafast speeds, while others have more straightforward plans that are easier on the wallet. Many providers impose data caps that limit how much internet you can use per month—though some of them offer unlimited data. As our customer satisfaction survey makes clear, providers also vary in terms of issues like reliability and customer service. And of course there are often promotions and discounts, including ones to cover the cost of installation.
