High Speed Internet Access (Broadband)

High speed Internet access (also called broadband) from home or work is fast becoming a reality for many people across the United States.

Check your internet connection speed right now.

High Speed access provides you with a number of advantages over traditional dial up services. Always-on connection, instant access to email and www, significantly faster downloads and web surfing and no need for a second phone line are just a few of the advantages.

Currently high speed access comes into your home or office in one of four ways, through your existing phone line (DSL), existing cable tv line (cable), satellite dish or wireless.

High speed access costs between $25 and $60 per month, but after you factor in the cost of dropping your second phone line and your current ISP, high speed access is only slightly more than traditional Internet service.
