Broadband Internet ServiceResidential broadband internet service has taken the home by storm. Personally, I am very glad it has. When I first started to use the internet, it was the mid 1980's and I was armed with my handy Hayes compatible 1200 baud modem. I quickly upgraded to the 2400 and then the 4800 baud variety. (baud rate equals the number of bytes per second information can be transmitted.) Needless to say, this is VERY slow. PAINFULLY slow. I chased after speed. When a faster modem became available I wanted it. No wonder I ended up becoming a full service broadband provider. I really do love this stuff! We'll provide you with:
More information, more quotes from more vendors and MORE REBATES! 
Side note: When I started to 'surf the net' it was pre-www (world wide web) days. There was no 'web'. We should point out here that the web is NOT the internet. The web is 'part' of the internet. Due to the popularity of the web, people tend to use the terms interchangeably. However, I just wanted to make the point that the two are not the same. The internet is the super highway (ok, we all know that term right?) This super highway takes us to many destinations. Many (and more destinations being added daily) are on the web. You get to the web via the super highway (ie. the internet). Ok, let's get back on track.
Let's fast forward to the late 1990's. It was during this time the web was born and it was growing quickly. I signed up for residential broadband internet service and WOW I was hooked. I've never looked back since. Everything was faster. Downloads, page loads, sending/receiving emails, research, online games. You name it and it was faster. Broadband internet access, whether it be dsl , cable, satellite or some other form of broadband access (yes, there's another access method on the horizon), it's only the beginning.
As a full service broadband provider our aim is in providing informative, unbiased information. Broadband internet service can be had by just about anyone and is very affordable. Get informed, get a quote, get your service. Simple as 1,2,3.
Now some users could care less about how these technologies work. Frankly, for many home users it really doesn't matter. Depending upon the area you live, you may not even have a choice. Certain areas can only get certain services. Sometimes there may be only one game in town. The best way to tell which services are available in your area is to generate a free quote. Use the link below to run your free quote.
For others, it is all about the technology. Whether a particular service is available in your area or not may not matter at all. You're the type of person who is generally interested in the underlying technology and how it works. If that's the case, by all means pull up a chair, make yourself comfortable and read on! Here are 3 different links to articles. You'll find unbiased, informative information covering each of the different broadband internet services outlined above. Back already? Did you enjoy the articles? Wow, you're really a quick study. Glad to see you back. Need a break? No?
Whew. We've covered a lot of information. If you didn't get the chance to read all three articles, or for those that didn't read any, it's OK. How about a quicker rundown. Something that's a bit easier of a read. Here's a glossary of terms we put together to help ease the mind. Like any glossary, it can be read word for word or just used as a reference. Completely up to you. We'll provide the information. That much we promise you.
So now that we all have a general understanding of the different broadband access methods as well as our handy glossary of terms, what's next? To start, if you haven't run your free quote yet, we recommend you start there.
Now let's take some time to compare the 3 different types of services.
Here's an excellent article which provides a comparison of the most common broadband technology (cable vs dsl). We'll be adding the third (satellite) very soon.
Side note: This is an unbiased comparison of the broadband internet services available. While some services may be available in your area and others not, no need to fret. Generally speaking all broadband services are much, (let me say that again) MUCH better options than traditional dial-up.
It's been some journey huh? There was a lot of information provided. Now that you have the knowledge necessary you're ready to make an informed decision. Congratulations on reading this far. You truly do have what it takes to be an informed consumer. We hope that we cleared up much of the mystery surrounding broadband internet service. It's not that difficult to understand now, right?
