In our busy society, we don't need to add more items to our to do list. So what's the easiest way to shop for your next broadband subscription? Why not try comparing internet service providers by zip code so you can easily see what your options are, making the best choice in the least amount of time.

Of course, a great way to start would be checking out internet reviews. However, you want to be smart in which reviews you are spending your time on, because you generally only have a few internet providers available to your specific location.

When you use a zip code search to shop for internet providers, you know exactly who offers service in your area. This allows you to dedicate your time to reading internet provider reviews only about those that are a potential option to you, not others who can't fill your needs.

If this is your first time comparing internet providers, you will want to learn the difference between dial-up, DSL, cable, fiber optics, wireless and satellite. While this may sound a little overwhelming, it's really not as confusing as it appears to be.

Of course there was a time when dial-up was cutting-edge technology, and we didn't mind the slower speeds and other limitations. With today's bandwidth hungry web pages, you will have to spend way too much time on your dial-up connection trying to download email attachments or web pages.

While dial-up certainly is inexpensive, there is a much better alternative today - DSL internet service. While DSL is not as fast as cable or fiber optics internet, the speeds are still very respectable, and most people will find they can navigate the internet quite well without any lag times. Also, DSL is easy to get connected to because it uses your existing telephone line to deliver your broadband connection. You can still talk on the phone while you use your connection, and you can even set up a wireless router to connect several computers to your DSL connection.

Another popular delivery technology is cable internet. If you are already connected to cable television, you have the necessary infrastructure to easily get connected to the web. Cable is a bit costlier than DSL, but it is also quite a bit faster in most cases.

People in rural or remote areas will be glad to know that satellite service is becoming a more viable alternative. Some people will find that DSL and cable are not available to them, and dial-up is simply too slow.
