There is quite a lot to choose from when it comes to DSL providers. You will want to compare plans, speed, cost and special promotions before reaching a decision. You’ll also want to consider the merits of DSL vs cable internet, or if you want the ultra high speed of AT&T Uverse or Verizon FiOS. The main advantage of a DSL connection besides high speed is that it goes through your phone line without tying up your phone, like dial up connections.

The need to compare is certainly true for all high speed internet. Compare the different speeds, and choose what is right for you.  Most people prefer a higher speed these days due to the popularity of watching videos, downloading music, and sharing pictures.  Next, look at the online promotions for rebates and free add ons such as wi-fi, modems, installation, and routers.  This will give you an idea of the true cost.  Finally, see if the promoted plan requires a one or two year service plan.  Most rebates do have some restrictions like this.
