You Have Choices When It Comes to Internet Service

Years ago, anyone who wanted to connect to the Internet signed on through a modem connected to their phone line. Dial-up connections are relatively slow (but computers weren’t as fast back then, either) and if someone in your house was browsing the Internet, you couldn’t get or receive phone calls without a separate line.

Today, most areas offer multiple high-speed options for Internet service. Of course, you can still connect through a modem and phone line—but why would you want to? The following may help you choose the right internet service for your needs.

• Cable Modem: Cable television providers also offer Internet service through a cable modem. You can often save money with a cable, phone, and Internet bundle, where the same provider supplies all three services.
• DSL: While a cable modem sends the signal through cable wires that also deliver your television signal, a DSL connection is routed through your phone line. However, the same way you can watch TV, talk on the phone, and browse the Internet, all at the same time with a cable, phone and Internet bundle, a DSL modem permits you to talk on the phone while connected to the Internet. You can save money with a DSL / phone service bundle, or you can also pay for a DSL connection without purchasing phone service from the same DSL provider.

Whichever Internet service you choose, Allconnect.com can guide you toward the lowest prices available in your neighborhood.
