Not so long ago, comparing internet service providers was nothing short of a nightmare. It is fair to say that few people could actually say they look forward to the process, unless of course they are either very interested in technology or have a lot of time on their hands.

Now there are terrific resources available that highlight internet providers reviewed as well as anything related to this important decision right on the information superhighway.

It used to be standard procedure for consumers to first make a bunch of phone calls to the providers available in their area. After spending a bunch of time on hold, and then enduring a pressure-filled sales pitch just to gather the data we needed, we would then have to attempt to make a decision.

With the booming popularity of online bill paying, banking and shopping, many of us wouldn't dream of spending time on the telephone comparison shopping if we can help it. It's so much easier to research and compare internet technology offerings online, and even order service without ever picking up the telephone.

Since the internet is flooded with information on everything, it's easy to find out exactly what the difference is between cable, DSL, fiber optics and satellite service is. If you find a great deal on DSL from one provider, you can easily learn if the speed and download times it offers is really what you're after. Just because there's a great special or package on something doesn't mean that it's the right service for you.

Since once size doesn't fit all, you should examine your habits. Are you just a light emailer that hops online occasionally to read the news? Then a medium speed DSL plan is perfect for you, and very economical. You can find service for under $20 per month from top providers like Verizon or AT&T.

But if you have a need for speed, you'll want to check up on cable internet or fiber optics service from top providers like Verizon FiOS, ATT Uverse, or Comcast.

Do you live in a farming community or on the outskirts of a town? Satellite service can keep you connected. Other technologies like DSL and wireless are also expanding in these areas. By using the internet, you have the power to read about these services, compare packages and quickly make a decision.
