An Internet service provider is the company that handles your
local connection to the Internet.
It may be an international
company with links all over the world, or a friendly local firm
based just across town. Whichever you decide to go with, it is
best to shop around.
Prices vary greatly as service providers
are
participating
in a competitive
market.
For any given kind of
service,
there are usually several providers
available
and several
price structures.
You will need a service provider who will allow you to connect to
the Internet
cheaply, using a local call.
Charges can mount up,
so get the best deal you can. Try to discover how busy the
service is, especially
at peak times.
Some providers
are too
popular for the number of machines (15 w.p.m.) they have. If you
can get a free trial, you will best be able to gauge their support
and other services offered.
Most Internet
access providers
charge
either a per-minute
rate, a flat monthly fee for a specified
number of hours, or a flat monthly fee (20 w.p.m.) for unlimited
use.
