An increasing number of people have the ability and desire to connect to the Internet. It is not enough to have a computer connected to the virtual web for this. It is also very important to choose the right Internet provider in order not to regret the money and time spent in the future.
Instructions
Step 1
First, collect information about the presence of providers in your community. Find out from friends and acquaintances about the work of providers, the quality of services provided, the positive and negative aspects of each provider. After that, having decided a little with the Internet providers, bypass or call each provider you pre-selected. In a conversation, you need to find out the cost of services per month, the conditions for their provision, what speed you will have at a particular tariff, the cost of connection and terms. Be sure to find out if you need to install any modem or other device, its cost, a guarantee for its operation.
Step 2
Find out separately how and on what cable the Internet signal will be delivered. Quality and speed depend on it. Give preference to a provider who pulls a twisted pair cable to their customers. At this time, this is the most secure, cheap and high-quality method of signal delivery, and at speeds up to 1 Gb / s. Signal transmission via TV cable is possible at speeds up to 30 Mb / s, and over telephone lines up to 10 Mb / s.
Step 3
Be sure to find out if your house is connected to the network of this provider, and what equipment is on his house. As a rule, if the house is connected, there is a “smart” (ie controlled) or “dumb” (ie unmanaged) switch on it. Of course, it is better to choose an Internet provider that has a smart switch on the house. By the way, the use of such a smart word as a switch in a conversation with a representative of the provider will show the interlocutor that you understand the issue and you should not be deceived.
Step 4
Check how the signal is sent to your home. Preference should be given to those who have an optical line to their homes. This is the most secure and reliable way to transmit signals over a distance.
