The ISP gives you the access to the Internet.In addition, it should also provide you with the software that makes the connection between your PC and the Internet and an Internet tools software kit (such a web browser or an E-mail application)
There are several things that should be taken into consideration when choosing an ISP.
1. Choose a local ISP. An ISP which is only a local call away will decrease you telephone expenses.
2. Find the ISP that would feet the amount of time you'll be connected. There 3 possibilities:
A set monthly fee no matter how long you're connected
A set fee for a hourly limit and an extra charge after the limit
A charge by the hour.
3. Choose an ISP that will offer the fastest access modems.
Using a 28,800 bps modem on your computer will not improve much if your ISP provides slower access rate.
