The internet service providers in your area are vying for your broadband dollars, and they have put together some terrific packages and incentives. Their current offers is called “any speed, one price” at $24.95 a month for twelve months. This promotion for new customers can score you up to 6.0 Mbps for a full 12 months at a price less than their regular “Express” package. If you switch from cable and give their DSL service a try, you will receive a $100 reward card plus free Gateway on select plans ($100 value). McAfee Security Suite is also included on select plans. Another plan available is DSL Direct, where you can get DSL service without a phone line. This includes WiFi, with speeds up to 6 Mbps.

Before selecting a provider for internet service in your area, it’s advisable to figure out what speed you will require for your intended internet usage. If you are a casual surfer that wants e-mail and instant messaging capabilities, the 768 Kbps speed is adequate. If you are more serious about surfing and downloading files in a timely manner, you will probably be happier with a 1.5 Mbps speed. To send photographs, download music and view videos online, a 3.0 speed is a good choice. And the fastest DSL speeds of 5 to 7 Mbps are perfect for heavy surfers who intend to stream videos, share pictures, download movies, play online games, or network computers together.
