| Which ISP is good for You? |
| ||||||
| Before choosing a path to the Internet, you need to consider what you want. Now that WebTV and vireless services can turn television sets, cell phones, and pocket organizers into low-cost Web terminals, those who simply want to see what the fuss is about don't have to invest in a PC. At the other extreme, power surfers on multimedia PC's look to the spread of cable modem service and the promise of digital subscriber lines (DSL) to provide the bandwidth they've been missing. But by far the most popular way to the Web for home users is dial-up access through an Internet service provider (ISP). If you just want to browse at home, many regional ISPs will set up a no-frills connection for a few dollars a month. If you want to log on while traveling, top-tier networks such as Concentric, Netcom, or PSINet offer nationwide connections. Users starting from scratch who want an E-mail account and other frills can get the necessary software on a free disk from services like Microsoft, MSN, Planet Direct, AT&T, or America Online. Those who plan to be online for several hours a day need a flat-fee, unlimited-use plan. Expect to pay $19.95 per month. For less frequent use, perhour billing may be more economical. Someday, with the help of cable modems and digital subscriber lines, the nation will cruise the Web the way it flips TV Channel. Although only 2% of Internet accounts in U.S. house-holds are on cable networks now, cable modems and DSLs will represent 20% of a larger pie in 2002, according to Forrester Research. So now it is time to decide. Check out these companies I have listed below with their websites, choose the one you like best and then suscribe.
