Many people have multiple broadband service provider choices. With that good fortune comes a nagging worry: what if you make the wrong choice?
First, like the old joke says when updated for new network technology, bad broadband service is a lot better than no broadband service.
Second, if you don't make the best choice, you'll still make a good choice. Every broadband service option described so far in this book will make Internet access better than ever before.
Finally, no decision you make here is binding forever. In fact, technology will improve so much over the next few years that you will need to rethink your broadband service option in two years no matter what you choose today.
Get your pencil, get ready to make some decisions, and by the end of this chapter you will have a good idea of the best choice for your broadband service needs. And if that service isn't available in your area, you'll still get a good broadband experience. Then update your decision in a year or two as new options become available to you.
There is no hidden agenda in the fact that cable starts the list for your broadband service options checklist. Something had to start, and cable comes earlier in the alphabet than DSL, satellite, or wireless. Feel free to go through the DSL checklist first if you wish, and if that gives you the comfort level you need, sign up for DSL and don't look back. But if you want to check around just a little, just to be sure, this is the place to do so.
