Do you want a dial up or broadband?
Dial up works by connecting through your phone line. It is the cheapest method to connect to the internet. It is also however the slowest (in terms of downloads and time waiting to connect), and prevents you from being able to receive phone calls whilst connected.
Broadband is typically more than ten times faster, allowing you to stream videos and browse websites comfortably.
If you choose broadband, you’ll need to choose between DSL and cable connections. Typically cable is the faster than DSL, but may not be available in your area. Satellite is fast and widely available; but can be very expensive.
Once you’ve decided the service you want, try asking your existing telephone provider if they offer any good deals. Also try looking at comparison websites, and try my recomended ISP’s below.
When choosing a provider, consider more than just the cost. In particular, look for a toll free support number (as set up problems are very common). Also check if there are installation costs.
The actual implementation of an ISP can affect the speed significantly. Whilst two cmopanies may both offer the same bandwidth, one company (typically larger companies) may have agreements with other ISP’s to have priority traffic. This can lead to discrepencies between companies speeds. It all gets a bit confusing at this point but it isnt too important
