Guide to the Best Broadband Services


Here's how to find the best broadband services from DSL, cable Internet, Wi-Fi, UMTS (next generation cell phone data), satellite Internet, and broadband over powerlines service providers.

Doing research on your own on the available high-speed Internet services can be very time consuming and frustrating. There are so many offers and technologies out there.

This web site has been designed to offer you an easy access to pre-made research on high-speed Internet access services, all in one place. The information here is used continuously in corporate market research, so you get the same information as market "insiders" do.

Being up-to-date on the best services gives you more options to choose your provider, making price and service comparisons easier. All from the comfort of your own home.

Wireless and Wired Broadband Services

Many of you who are thinking of broadband services don't give much thought about going wireless. The new generation of wireless services, available today, provide very high transmission speeds.

There are an increasing number of Wi-Fi hotspots to use your wireless connection (and technologies emerging such as WiMax to extend the range). Also, you may take up a GPRS/EDGE/UMTS data card to use with your laptop and be connected to the Net wherever you go, provided there's cell phone coverage.

For business users that means dramatically improved productivity that is bound to translate into an improved financial bottom line. For many of us being wirelessly connected to the broadband Internet means being able to keep up with what's happening with our friends and loved ones.

Back home, you may have a separate wired high-speed Internet connection (or one that uses satellite dish). In comparison to wireless high-speed Internet, many have found these connections not only to have better transfer rates of data than wireless, but also to be more reliable.

You are, however, tied to working on the one spot (or as long as your cords can reach).

With the information from this web site, you can make more informed decisions between the pros and cons of the different technologies and ways to connect to the broadband Internet.

Keeping Up With the Latest Developments

The field of high-speed Internet services is developing very rapidly, both for the wireless and wired versions.

For wireless, the already mentioned WiMax broadband technology is making its way to laptops (the standard is already titled 802.16).

EDGE technology is already used by companies such as Cingular, and will be able to deliver data at speeds up to 470 kbit/s sometime in the near future.

Also, the satellite phone Internet connections are becoming more accessible for everyday use.

New subscribers are signing in at a rate of around 2.3 million per quarter for the wired high-speed connections, so you're not alone in thinking about getting such a line.

There is a great deal of innovation going on even on the wired side of broadband. For example, in the near future, utility companies are planning on rolling out broadband over powerlines services, which promise high speed Internet connections through any electric outlet in homes and businesses.

This site will keep you up to date on those developments, as well as:

  • Inform you about new companies entering the broadband market
  • Publish information on the new ways to connect to Internet in high-speed
  • Show ways to get to the best deals with rebates and special offers
  • Inform on new high-speed Internet products
  • Advice on how to keep connected while traveling internationally
  • And much, much, more.

I hope that you find the research and short cuts on this site helpful in your search for the best broadband services.
