If your Internet has ticked you off for the last time, you have no choice but to switch to a different provider. Now, this is a big decision to make because your choice of ISP can have a significant impact on your happiness whether you are a student, a businessperson, or a plain Internet user. You may have several options or may even be stuck with just a couple of ISPs depending on your location. Regardless, here are your most important considerations when comparing Internet service providers.
Connection Types
Knowing the different types of Internet connection is worthwhile because it gives you an idea what to expect from your ISP. Today, there are at least four common Internet connection types you can choose from: DSL, Cable, Satellite, and Fiber optics. Use Google Search to find out the definition for each and how each connection type works. Compare their pros and cons and find out which one will be able to meet your needs best.
Download and Upload speed
speed is what determines the quality of Internet connection you have, so when comparing ISPs, see to it that you make download and upload speed as a major basis. Service providers usually indicate the download and upload speed their package offers, but if you want to know the actual speeds of ISPs as tested by other users like you, you might want to check out Speedtest.net.
Contract
Most ISPs offer multi-year contracts. If you want to avoid multi-year contracts, though, you will have to be ready to pay a higher price since one-year contracts are usually more expensive. When it comes to installation, some providers offer it free of charge, while others may charge you for it as well as for the equipment used. Some providers offer discounts if you choose to go for a package or bundle. When you’re comparing services, these are some of the most important details you need to take into consideration.
Customer Service
The quality of customer service an ISP offers should be your main consideration. Is it easy to get tech support from them? Does the company provide a variety of options for getting support? How do you rate the installation process? Obviously, there is no way you can find out unless you’ve tried the services yourself. To get an idea, you can search online for reviews made by real people on different ISPs in your area.
There are other considerations aside from the abovementioned, but they are your utmost priority when looking to switch to a new ISP.
