With dial-up internet slowly dying and more and more homes are being connected with high speed broadband internet connection every day, Internet service providers are doing everything they can to get your hooked on. With new ISP providers entering the market every day, the prices to get a high speed connection are falling. With so many to choose from, how do you decide broadband supplier offers the right package for you?

Connection Speed - How fast?

Be a little bit weary of broadband deals advertising "up to 8mb" connection etc. It may not mean that you will get the speed they advertise. The speed you will be able to get depends on your local exchange and what your line is capable of. So always check the availability before you sign on the dotted line.

Download Limits – The “Unlimited broadband” myth

Many ISPs advertise "Unlimited Broadband" as their unique selling point. Even these so called "Unlimited" download limits do have fair usage policies (usually not well advertised, like most small print). If you use your broadband internet connection just to browse internet, check emails and do some shopping, you may not need a huge download limit or an unlimited deal for which you have to pay more. One of the common impacts of advertising these days is to make you believe that you need something which in fact, may not be true. So know what download limit you need and do not end up paying over the odds because of seeing a flashy advertisement from an internet service provider.

Know your rights

Most of the products you buy online, including your broadband connection will be subject to some cooling off period. Even if you sign up to a one year contract, you may still be able to cancel within, say 14 days or so depending on local regulations.

Compare prices and read consumer reviews

Broadband providers keep changing their offers all the time. If you have seen an advertisement somewhere, whether it is TV or media, do not presume that you will get the same offer. Always check the latest prices when you sign up. Better still, read what other peoples experiences are with the Internet service providers using broadband provider comparison sites.

Last, but not least, consider looking for a latest deal every time you renew your contract. There is a good chance that you might find a better ISP than your current one.
