If you are moving to a new home, there are many things to consider. One is getting your Internet set up. There are different types of Internet plans available, three of which are listed below. You can then get this set up before your family moves into the new home. 

Broadband

One type you can choose is a broadband Internet plan. This is offered through your cable company or your local telephone company. Broadband plans are generally the fastest type of Internet plan available. This is because multiple data channels are used and can handle large quantities of data. 

Your local cable company or telephone company can tell you information about the broadband internet plans available for you. They will then come to your home and install a modem for you and get everything connected. When finished, you will have Internet on all your computers and devices in your home through a Wi-Fi connection. 

DSL

Another option you have is getting DSL, which also stands for Digital Subscriber Line. With this, two wire copper telephone lines are connected to your home. The Internet is then delivered through the copper lines at the same time. DSL is offered through your local telephone company. This involves installing a DSL modem inside your home which is connected through a phone line. 

DSL is fast but not as fast as broadband. If you are just an average Internet user, you will likely not notice a difference in the speeds. As with broadband, all the devices and computers in your home will have Internet through the modem and a router to provide you with Wi-Fi. 

Satellite

If you live in a rural area that cannot receive a broadband connection, you can choose a satellite Internet connection. With this type, a modem is installed inside your home and connected to a satellite dish that is installed outside. The satellite is installed on the side of your home or the roof and must have a view that is free from obstructions. 

There are many companies that offer satellite Internet and will install everything for you. This type of Internet is generally not as fast as broadband or DSL but is sufficient for you. It does tend to go down more often, however, especially if you have a bad storm, a lot of wind, etc. 

No matter what type of Internet you choose there are different plans available when it comes to speed and the amount of bandwidth. What you choose will affect the price of your monthly bill.
