Computer Support is a vitally important aspect of any business in this ever increasing internet world but it is so easy to get it wrong and make totally the wrong choice.

With an ever increasing number of people coming on line, there is a massive market for broadband service providers to offer the latest and fastest broad band speeds for their potential customers.

Deals will vary from provider to provider and it seems that many of them are keen to offer very competitive deals for both your broadband and your phone connection.

Whilst some people will relish the thought of what seems to be a better package for a lot less money, tying up all your services with one provider does have its drawbacks especially if you have a problem or have lots of contacts and or online memberships that use your e-mail as a log in.

Fortunately you can diffuse this situation a little as there also a number of online e-mail services you can use instead of being reliant on your isp provided e-mail.

Broadband speed is something you need to be careful about as well. We all know that bigger is always better so when you see an advert offering up to 8mb broadband to the average consumer is that this will be a better deal.

You need to be aware here that the most important thing here is the word up to. It means just that.

There are a number of factors that will affect your actual available broadband speed which include things like the distance from your phone exchange , and also the number of people sharing the connection.

Also the technology used by the exchanges will be a restriction so if it is not up to date you may find that the best connection speed you will enjoy could be as little as 1MB.

Sure you can complain but you can almost guarantee that the little word up to will be used in defence of the fact that you are simply not getting the speed the salesperson or advert said you would.

Customer service is another major area of concern as broadband providers tend to cut costs to maximise profits.

If you have been through the loop on this you will soon learn that there is a mechanism in place to keep you firmly in the customer care system.

You undoubtedly will end up spending hours on the phone, being given delaying tactics that on the face of things (unless you know better) seem helpful but in reality are not, and if you have conducted your own testing and have isolated the problem, you will still be stuck in their protocol loop hole even though it is totally unnecessary.

Do yourself a favour and if you are considering a change make up a little table or matrix so you can accurately check the difference between one provider and the next, and remember that you get what you pay for so be diligent in your choice.
