Are You Getting The Bandwidth Speed You Were Promised?

Many internet service providers, also know as ISP's, promise a certain speed, but never actually give you what you are paying for. For example, for us we were promised a speed of a 512 kbps, but we actually receive an average speed of 200 kbps. The FCC, Federal Communications Commission, is trying to get high-speed internet service to all the houses. The FCC, can't do this by themselves, they need our help. They want to provide us with reliable and accurate statistics of the ISP broadband connections. But how can we help? Well just head over to test my isp and sign up.

Are You Living in a Rural Area?

Well, satellite internet offers high internet speeds where ever you are at. You don't need to have cable or DSL to have high speed internet. The top two best satellite internet sellers are HughesNet and Wildblue. These two companies have been serving people for many years and have satisfied them with high speed internet in places where DSL or Cable don't reach. HughesNet prices start from 60 dollars a month receiving 1 MB/s. On the other hand, Wildblue's prices start from 40 dollars a month but only receive 512 KB/s. So if there is no internet service yet where you live, check Hughesnet and Wildblue.
