Questions to Ask Before Choosing a New ISP

It doesn’t take long to realize that there are many, many Internet service providers out there to choose from. From big corporations to smaller operations, from well-known names to lesser-heard-of companies, ISP options are plentiful.

Regardless of which ISP you are considering, though, there are a number of basic questions that should be asked before deciding whether to sign up or not. Getting answers ahead of time will make the decision easier and also reduce the likelihood that you’ll be searching for another ISP in a couple of months.

Cost
- What is the monthly price?
- Is it month-to-month or a contract period?
- Can I save by pre-paying for a year (or another period of time)?
- Does the price include unlimited service?

Set up
- Are there installation charges or equipment to buy?
- Do they have 24/7 tech support?
- Is tech support free?

Amenities
- Do they offer free email addresses?
- Do they provide SPAM and/or virus protection?

Billing
- What are the billing options?
- What is the process for cancellation?
