Choosing an ISP, what you need to know?

With insufficient Internet speed, with frequent failures or poor attitude of the technical assistance service, the user often looks for a new service provider. But what should be paid attention to in this case and what should be taken into account?

How to make the right choice?

Here are the most important criteria to consider:

1. Type of connection. Most often today it is a wired connection, it can be a telephone line, but optical fiber is best. ETTA has a higher data rate, so you should choose this option, and it does not come with additional costs.

As for ADSL, this is an alternative in the form of a wireless connection. But the data transfer speed is not that high and is often used by companies where there is no need to upgrade the Internet speed.

2. Geography of coverage. The more districts connected to the network, the cheaper and faster the work will be. And here it is always worth considering first of all the cost of providing services and the declared speed. And it is important to understand whether you need to buy additional equipment or cable.

And if you ask about everything an employee of the company with which you will cooperate, you can understand how technical support works. If you have questions, you should always contact support. And if doubts arise during the dialogue, it is worth looking for another option.

3. Speed. The provider can indicate space numbers. But the declared speed often differs from the real one, and the user will find out about it later. And in this case, difficulties may arise, since sites can take a long time to load, data transfer will take a long time. That is, it is better to immediately study all the terms of the contract.

4. The cost of the tariff plan. Here it is always worth considering the ratio of cost of services and quality. It is better to immediately think through all the numbers and understand how much approximately it will take to work or do business. And if the provider has several tariff plans, then this is a plus, since you can choose the best one.

5. Additional terms. Company loyalty is another point that deserves attention. It would not be superfluous to ask if there are additional services that come with the Internet. For example, it can be connected to video surveillance or TV programs, and so on.

And another plus is that the provider can offer credit. For example, the Internet has ended, but there is no way to pay, and in this case it is possible to connect the Internet on credit for a couple of days.
