Tips & Warnings
Even if packages seem cheap, look at the speed, cost of hardware and any extra features. This may actually make a higher priced package cheaper in the long run.
Make sure all your questions are answered before you buy. If one provider can’t answer your questions, call another. Customer service is just as important as a quality connection.
