To connect to the Internet you will need a reasonably modern computer (or other Internet enabled device), a communications device called a modem and an account with an Internet Service Provider(ISP). Once you have opened an account with an ISP, you connect to them through your computer and modem. In turn, their computers connect you to the Internet.
When selecting an ISP consider:
1. Costs – Some ISPs charge a setup fee when you first sign up for an account. Make sure you are aware of these charges as well as the various costs (including phone rates) for the different accounts they offer.
2. Range of Accounts - Make sure they have an account that suits your needs.
3. Family Friendly - Determine whether the ISP is family friendly by offering you Internet filtering solutions and advice.
4. Support and Reputation - Make sure the ISP offers the levels of support you think you may need. Also determine whether they are members of the Internet Industry Association .
