how do you choose your internet service provider?

i choose both, the cheaper price and fast connection, theres much cheaper than what we have but the connection is very slow so we just decided to use the one that even coz hundred dollars more as long as its fast then its alright. what matter is faster connection.

In the past I have had different kinds of internet connections. In the beginning I always had a wired connection, but the last few years I have had a wireless internet connection. My father also has wireless internet and he recommended a company. I didn't know much about it, so I just chose the same company. It worked fine while I was living in a big city, but when I moved to a village in the countryside the connection became very slow and unstable. I decided to try a different company, and that was the right decision, because they are cheaper and their wireless internet works better even in the countryside. It is unstable sometimes, but most of the times it works relatively well.

I always choose my provider based on availability. Last summer I actually went through 3 providers in a 2 month period. The provider I had at first changed their system and only offered dsl (which we can't get over our out-dated phone lines outside on the poles.) So, they switched me to the next closest provider that offered service out in the country here. Then after a couple of weeks, I got a notice from them that they were changing the dial up number, and then it was going to be a long distance charge on top of the internet fee. I cancelled them and ended up going with my local phone company, who has a number that is local. Such a headache! I could get it with my sattelite dish service, but that costs an arm and a leg lol. I have connection issues quite often, most of the time when it rains or is a heavy fog. You know, if the phone company would just do their job and replace those old lines on the poles down the road, none of us in this area would have any problems at all! Mine is through Windstream, and I think they're great. Anytime I had a problem, they were always courteous and tried their best to solve the issue.

Speed of the connection is important. So when we selected our provider we went with that. Next was how much it would cost us. We ultimately ended up with a cable package.

When I moved to where I live now, I ran an internet comparison check to see who provided service, what level of net speed and the prices. I ended up just like your family getting the best deal from my cable company. Tho the prices were in place for a set time period and now I have to check them again. I will go thru the same process as before. Having reliable internet is key for me since I use it daily for business so that leaves out dsl and other lesser options. And if you use the net to price out the services make sure you print the best prices you find cause then you can possibly use that to negotiate the price down with competitors. I'd avoid signing any contract tho since that seems to be a new trend that some cable and net providers are doing to try and lock folks in for 2 years. Good Luck!!

Yes I would go for the packege and the service provider of it.Because in my country what we have right now is dsl which is running and competing between isp providers.And just early this year the cable internet was introduced in our place and cable operators give a trial packege to their customers. The speed was quiet awesome not like the dsl.I had an internet connection last year in which I decided to terminate because of its intermittent connection. I tried to hook up again or subscribe late last year and this time I don't encounter any problem. Same ISP

While choosing the Service provider most important thing for me is the availability and then comes services.

before we had our dsl connected we asked our neighbors about their isp, so after choosing the company, it was time to examine their internet plans/bundle. waht i am facing now is that i am stuck with our contract, three more months, but a day ago they are offering a faster service at a much lower price. Silly Companies!
