High Speed Internet Providers Reviewed

It seems like there are so many big businesses that make enormous amounts of money and only hold on to their profits with greed. Charter Internet is of great contrast to this comment. In fact Charter Internet recently held an online auction open to the public. As people auctioned off items and paid their dues, large profits were made. However instead of Charter Internet keeping all the money for themselves, they donated all profits from the auction to the Habitat for Humanity. This is a great display of character and integrity within the company which is seldom replicated throughout the business world. Charter Internet not only provides high speed internet service, but also high speed assistance to charities in need.

Some of our recent observations have found that Comcast Specials are taking over the Cable high speed internet market. We are starting to see less and less advertising on the Time Warner Cable side with only a bunch of ad sense scattered over the net. This hardly helps the internet community make informed decisions about service providers.  so for those that are abandoning your dial-up service, the best advice we can give you is to make sure you look through all the features each high speed internet service provider has to offer. Comcast for instance has some great features including things like Mcaffee Security Suite. They also have excellent parental controls that will enhance security on your home computer if you have children. So be sure to compare apples to apples and features to features as we have done. This will help you get the most out of your dollar.

Tying up your telephone line & waiting for hours to download simple pictures or files is a thing of the past. Dialup simply does not cut it in this day and age and we should think of high speed internet as the primary tool to find information.

Unfortunately not everyone has access to broadband. Many rural communities still struggle with sub-standard connection speed. Whether you want to check your emails, peruse the headlines or check the weather, your ability to connect with the world should not be dependent on where you live. The only viable solution is satellite broadband, but this solution is costly and does not have a variety of plans and prices.

So if you have access to broadband and are still on the fence you may want to consider high speed internet access. The prices have dropped tremendously and with a large variety of plans you can find DSL plans that rival dialup prices.

In an effort to gain market share in the ultra high speed market, Comcast, the leading cable broadband provider, has released its new extreme high speed internet service clocking in at up to 50 Mbps. Their new “wideband” platform is giving Verizon FiOS a run for their money. There have been rave reviews about the 30 Mbps FiOS network and with time we’ll be able to compare not only speed, but reliability of each of their services.

Comcast is now able to offer ultra high speed through its first deployment of a next generation network called DOCSIS 3.0. Defined, DOCSIS stands for Data Over Cable Service Interface Specifications. This is a brand new technology that delivers high speed internet over fiber optic cable networks. This is also just the beginning. Comcast claims to be able to offer speeds up to 100 Mbps within 2 years and up to 160 Mbps at some point in the future as the technology and network is further advanced.

The ultra high speed wideband service has only been launched in the Twin Cities region and is not widely available. It is said that Comcast Specials will start at the $149.95 price point, it sure is designed for the ultra high speed aficionado.
