When I want to compare internet providers in my area, I go online and do some research.  It’s easy to find blogs and reviews about the different major providers.  It’s even better when you can link to the provider websites, run an internet search to see what they offer in your area, and then look at the referring website for side by side comparisons of different plans and what they offer.  That way you can compare costs and speed, as well as other features.  I like seeing how the added incentives of cash back, free modems, free installation, wi-fi access, and bundles really stack up.
