How to choose a provider?
So, you have to choose a supplier who has adequate technical capability for fast data transfer from the outside of your home or office computer. The main thing in this case --not to hurry, because the successful implementation of the Internet is largely dependent on the correctness of your choice.
Several years ago the question: "How to choose a provider?" - Was almost rhetorical, as well as in local markets reigned one - two potential provaydera. In our time, providers count about ten, or even more. The number of people accessing the Internet grows at an exponential dependence. Potential clients rather focused on the objective information, compare, test and asked a number of important questions: - Does the United provider with other providers in our region? If yes, what?
- How many modems (the modem pool) is available and what protocols they support?
- What additional servicesand provide and what is their value?
Compiling and organizing all this information, believe me, you will be much easier to decide which ISP to connect to.
But first, decide what you want on the Internet. If you neede-mail only in small amounts, it is possible to connect to any ISP - existing channels are sufficient for the exchange of electronic correspondence with each of them. If other than e-mail you need and access in real time - as the saying goes, "polzhizni in on-line" - the requirementto an increased dramatically.
And before you make the most of these requirements, a good idea to know what each one is prepared to Internet providers in our city.
The list of services is determined by the very activity, So all providers have a single "gentlemen's set of services. It includes: access to the Internet and related data transmission networks to wired channels, the postal service (the possibility of creating a mailbox on the server provider and the exchange of information through it), access to newsserver, providing space for the "home page" (web-hosting). Also, all service providers prefer to work in advance - first you make some money for his personal account, and then use that amount at his discretion.
Aboutproviders usually offer a choice of payment: You can pay for the amount of information as you can - for the access time. If you spend half a day on the Internet, accessing the network for communication via ICQ, or conversations with the chat - the best for you will pay for the traffic. If you are a userzuetes the Internet from time to time or, alternatively, download to your computer graphic files, music or program - then the cheaper cost, payment for time spent in the network. The rhythm of today's business requires to be constantly in touch - including the feature to receivektronnuyu mail, it is time to be connected to your ISP. In this case, you need a permanent connection to your ISP, but will approach the session mode of payment: You pay for access to the Internet within a certain period of time - from 8 to 20 hours, for example. The volume of consumed traffic, notchityvaetsya, but for the exits in the network at another time would have to pay extra.
If you are tired of the modem to dial up to the provider (and this is often a very topical issue), or do you both want, and the Internet and free phone - should be considered inPossibility of installing a dedicated line. However, for convenience, you pay in the literal sense - the cost of equipment to access higher value of an ordinary modem, and higher than normal monthly payments provider. Indisputable advantage - you have relieved the phone. |
