What is a broadband ISP?
A broadband connection is a band of frequencies transmitting information, and ?ISP? stands for ?Internet Service Provider?, which refers to the company that quite literally sells you access to the internet.

The kinds of broadband ISP?s:
There are several kinds of broadband ISP?s, yet the most popular kinds are:
ADSL ? always on access via your home phone.
Satellite ? internet connection via a satellite.
Cable ? uses cable TV connection.

How to choose a broadband ISP:
A broadband ISP is faster and better quality than a dial up connection. Despite the higher cost, in today?s world of high speed living it really does make a difference to have faster internet. So how do you choose the right one? The following should give you a rough idea of how to go about it:

1.How much are you willing to pay? Usually, the faster the service, the more you pay, so you will sometimes have to compromise on speed. Sometimes joining the ISP services of your phone or TV company will offer you special deals, which is always worth investigating.

2.What speed internet do you want/need? If you either work from home, or download large files, you will need something fast. DSL or Cable are the fastest kinds of ISP?s, and let you watch TV and speak on the phone at the same time as surfing the net. However because they are a shared service by all those whop are registered, they tend to slow down when there is heavy traffic (IE ? when many people in the network are online).

3.Monthly download limits? Check if you are limited and if so by how much ? the price for exceeding a download limit may be extremely costly!

4.Make sure your ISP includes an email, web-space, and security software in its package.
