Broadband is fast, always on Internet.
You can sit at your computer watching the clock go by as you download pictures of your grandkids or you can be downloading movies, games and photos in mere seconds. Broadband Internet access has come down significantly in price and websites and services are geared for broadband users. Without broadband, there is much you can't do online. For the price and simplicity of accessing broadband, it's worth looking into getting access.
Instructions
1. Check your house to see what type of connections you have available. Most people at least have a phone outlet that can be used for DSL. Look for cable outlets that can be used with a cable modem.
2. Find a broadband provider. Ask your utility company, such as phone and cable providers, if they sell broadband. You can also use website lists of Internet providers (see Resources).
3. Contact the provider of your choice. If you have a condo or apartment, your unit may be pre-wired by certain providers. Order Internet and set up your broadband modem. Put your modem near your computer, plug it into the phone or cable line with the correct cable and plug a network cable from the modem to your computer's network card. Your provider may have additional instructions.
