Here’s what you need to know about internet speeds:

  • Why Do Speeds Vary? Many users often wonder why there are different internet speeds at all; why doesn’t every provider offer the fastest internet possible? The reason is that each internet service provider (ISP) controls thousands of users and different types of web traffic, and some users require more “traffic lanes” than others. The more lanes you have, the faster you can download files, surf the web, and share data. These traffic lanes are referred to as “bandwidth,” and internet providers offer a variety of broadband speeds to meet the needs of their customers. 
  • internet-providerWhich Speed Is Right for Me? Appropriate broadband speed depends on a variety of factors, the first being what you use the web for on a daily basis. If you work from home or transfer large amounts of data back and forth, you’ll need a larger bandwidth; most internet plans are measured in megabytes per second (MPS), and the larger the MPS, the more access you’ll have. Those who have multiple users at home may also want to invest in a plan with increased bandwidth, as doing so will prevent your computer from slowing down if several people are downloading files or surfing the web simultaneously. 
  • Are There Fees to Be Aware Of? Although there aren’t any fees that would affect your internet speed, your ISP can attach certain charges for exceeding the data usage allotted for your particular plan. It’s always prudent to take into account the amount of data you use on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis before choosing an internet speed.
