Qwest DSL seems to be the David fighting against ISP Goliaths.  While Qwest holds its own against, AT&T, Time Warner, and other DSL Providers, it is important to remember that promotional prices quoted by Qwest require a little extra.  In most cases, the promotions are only valid with qualifying service plans, certain ISPs, and a rather lengthy commitment.  Fully investigate the plan that you intend to take with Qwest to make sure that you are getting the most benefit for your needs.  At times, modems are free depending on your chosen service plan.  You can take a look at the fine print, by clicking on the “complete details” link under the service plan on Qwest’s website.

If you are in the market for a new broadband connection, you definitely want to find a provider like Charter Internet Service that has a variety of super fast plans. Don’t be like most people that end up wasting a tremendous amount of time with a slow connection in order to save $5 a month. The added value and time savings that a super fast connection has to offer, significantly outweighs the extra dollars you would be spending. Charters basic plan starts at 5 Mbps and slowly moves up the ladder from there with a 10 and 16 Mbps plan. While the new Charter high speed internet max plan (16 Mbps) is available in some areas, it has not been released to all the areas. So be sure to keep your eyes out for the future of broadband with charters latest offerings.

Want to make the switch to DSL service but not sure what is the best for you? AT&T can offer you a variety of different services during this great internet promotion.

AT&T offers 4 different types of DSL services with different features including free Wi-Fi to different downstream speed. It is important to look at all of them and make sure that you get the service that will be best for what you will be using it for. With AT&T’s Internet promotions, they make it where you are able to make that decision and not break the bank.

Both cable and DSL Providers offer you a faster, more enriching experience while using the internet. Why choose DSL over cable. The main reason is the price. Many times the price for DSL is ten dollars less than cable high speed. If you are a person who is tired of the slowness of dial-up but don’t want the high expense of cable internet, DSL is the way to go. DSL also uses your existing phone wall or floor jack, so you don’t need to install any additional hardware in your house. With DSL your phone line will not be busy and you can do more than one thing at a time.

For the most part, your new Verizon Internet Service is easy to install. No service people will have to come to your house so there’s no waiting a whole day for someone who never shows up. The supplies you need will be delivered to your door usually within just a few days of your order. Simple instructions are included which make it easy for most people, even those who don’t know much about setting up computer hardware, to do their own installation. If you do run into complicatons, there are techs ready to walk you through what you need to do to get up and running.

About a year ago, my husband discovered the world of gaming using his beloved Xbox game console. What he didn’t know at the time was that Xbox had a feature called Xbox Live that allows you to play with others over a high speed internet connection. He was determined to get connected so he called Comcast to see if they supported this feature. It turns out they worked with Microsoft to ensure that Xbox Live is fully compatible with Comcast broadband Service.

The good news is that the online gaming feature was very easy to set up. Installation was not complicated and there where no confusing configurations to worry about. Both the Xbox website as well as the Comcast website had all the information needed to make his dream a reality. He followed the easy step by step instructions found on the Comcast website. Their documentation was excellent and they had extensive information for trouble shooting the connection in a detailed and organized manner. The best part about it is that the online gaming feature was already included as part of our Comcast Service Plan, so we didn’t incur any additional fees.

The broadband industry has turned us all into chicken littles. Back in the day (in the 1990’s) many people used to worry about the internet “running out” of bandwidth. That is not exactly the case with mega giants like Time Warner Road Runner Internet constantly improving technology. I remember being made to feel guilty about large downloads. People would say “If this growth continues, soon no one will be able to download anything!” Well, it turns out that we were wrong. My download size has increased, the number of people on the internet has increased, but bandwidth has increased even more! There is no longer talk of the whole system coming to a grinding halt.

I can’t find any exact statistics on this, which is driving me crazy because I love statistics in every way! However, I don’t think that this dismal prediction about downloads was just paranoia. At the time and given predicted growth rates of the industry and download rates it was quite reasonable that we would “run out” of bandwidth soon. I guess the broadband industry really came to the rescue there, because goodness knows that no human is going to give up his/her greedy ways to conserve scarce, shared resources.

What role do broadband providers like Bell South play in todays internet addicted population? I see internet addiction as a big, and increasing, problem these days. I have to say, I suffer from a touch of it myself. There was an (all too true) article in a joke newspaper that I read the other day that was about how an internet outage would make us all more productive. I also hear that kids now spend over 20 hours per week online. Back in MY day, I was lucky if I spend 20 minutes a week!

So, do broadband providers have any responsibility here? Well, much as we all like to blame others for our problems, I don’t really think we can point the blame at broadband internet. Sure, it’s easier to become addicted to broadband than to dial-up. Broadband, in general, is always on and always convenient. With dial-up, you at least have to rejoin the “real world” when your sister needs to call her boyfriend for the 5th time that day (again, I’m thinking of back when we used dial-up in the 1990’s) I guess the price of convenience is the possibility for overuse; I’d say it’s a fair price.

Free wireless broadband is starting to be offered here in town, but you definitely won’t get the same speed as if you where connected to Verizon internet service. Not where I live, of course, but it’s there in the downtown areas. I was on the phone with a friend who was visiting from out of town. He asked me where he could connect to someone’s broadband wireless. Just then he looked down and saw the sign pained on the pavement “wireless, town of Chapel Hill.” I like this idea on the surface, but I always have to wonder about unintended side effects.

First, if cities providing free internet catches on, how will this effect the Broadband industry? It could decrease subscriptions. I wonder if this will affect cafes and coffee shops that offer wireless internet. As a far out idea, will we start seeing lots of homeless people toting laptops to get the free internet? People basically throw away laptops once they are a couple years old so it could happen! Finally, I know it’s not really free. Nothing, not even bandwidth, is really free. Someone pays and that someone is the taxpayer, in this case. I guess I am paying for it anyway, so I’d better use it!

These days it seems easy to steal some bandwidth. You just open your laptop and look for open wireless networks. Can’t do this if you are on dialup internet. Sure, they could give you viruses and expose you to hackers, but it is just so tempting to get the free broadband. It’s really hard to think of this as stealing. Is anyone really affected? Does anyone really get hurt? I remember hearing of a report of some man being arrested for stealing wireless from a coffee shop, because he sat in his car outside instead of going in. Is this where things are headed?

I’ll admit that it’s wrong to steal, and as someone who knows my way around a computer I know that something is really being stolen. You see, whoever set up that wireless network paid for that bandwidth from the ISP. If I’m using some of it at a given time, the person who paid has less to use. However, broadband provides so much bandwidth that, in general, no one would ever notice. That doesn’t justify it, though. If you steal and no one notices, it’s is still stealing!

I keep getting ads about switching to Charter Internet as a broadband internet provider, but I remain skeptical.  How well does it really work?  So far, I don’t know anyone personally that has been brave enough to try it out.  I don’t think that most people are willing to try a new technology, let alone one as important as their ISP, without a word-of-mouth recommendation.  That’s why I think Charter Internet is clearly barking up the wrong tree with their advertising.

I haven’t seen any offer that they’ve had yet that says that I can try their service for free with no strings attached.  They just keep sending me ad after ad with the same information.  There’s no way that it will get me to switch from my current cable broadband provider, even if it is less expensive.  I can’t afford to be without my internet!  To try them out, I would keep my old service and get their new one as well.  Without a free trial, though, it just makes no sense.  So, until someone else I know is brave enough to try out this new technology, I’m attached to my cable modem.
