What is an Internet Service Provider (ISP)?

 

Think About How You Plan to Use the Internet

  • Personal or business use?
  • How many users? What is their skill level?
  • Use primarily during business hours or evenings/weekends?
  • Access only from home or while traveling?
  • Casual web browsing or serious research?
  • How important are email, newsgroups, file transfer?
  • Do you want your own web page or domain name?
  • How concerned are you about inappropriate material, privacy?

 

Decide What's Important to You:

  • Cost
  • Ease of Use
  • Local or National Access
  • Reputation
  • Service
    • Reliability
    • Customer Support
    • Web Pages
    • High Speed Access
    • Support for your type of computer (Mac/PC) or modem
