Choosing New Internet Service

[Natalie Perez]

Parents say that ATT's internet of $30 per month is too much money. So I'm looking around for cheaper internet service providers. I came across Clearwire, CenturyLink, EarthLink, Comcast, and NetZero. NetZero has a $9.99 a month deal with its mobile broadband thing but what is that?

What do you use your Internet for if you game and stream movies those wireless plans won't work well they have hidden data caps Netzero I think at 2.5gb honestly if you can save money elsewhere I think it's worth having the fastest Internet possible you can VoIP stream tv etc to save money.
I have AT&T elites plan and and I'm still limited by its bandwidth. Came from wireless broadband AT&T is a thousand times better but Comcast is even better yet followed by fios being the very best to me.

I use the internet to check email, go on social networks, watch videos on youtube, talk on skype, and download torrents and play video games sometimes. I've been using ATT DSL for as long as I can remember and now that they have ATT high speed internet for $14.99.

I would downgrade your plan before using mobile broadband unless you know for sure your going to get very good 4G signal. The basic AT&T plan will rival a full 3G signal and will have a much lower ping time.

I would select the 14.99 a month plan over any mobile plan because the speeds will be about the same without a small data limit. Ping time is just how long it takes to actually get your signal from your computer to the server.

I was not aware of NetZero's wireless Internet service. It looks to me like it's fine if you don't need very much access. 200 MB/month for free is a pretty good deal but 200 MB is not very much. The higher usage plans 2GB/mo @ $35 is pretty spendy.

If you download a lot of torrents, you may easily exceed small several GB caps on plans. Sometimes the services that are more expensive, often can be more lenient when you exceed your bandwidth cap, from my personal experience.
