What internet provider is the fastest?

Actually, it is the type of connection and your pc hardware that make fast or faster connections. An old pc with Win 98 will never work as fast as a pc with a new Pentium 4 or similar processor, even if they are both conected to DSL.\nDSL packages come in different speeds for different monthly rates. Try not to get impressed at their download/upload speed. Most of the times it is just a matter of waiting an extra 2 seconds to download a song. For 2 seconds faster I will certainly not pay from 24.99 to 69.99 a month for faster DSL or T1. Also, take in consideration your hardware equipment (pc) and cost to upgrade if needed, but more important is your need for fast connection vs. how much you are willing to pay for the service.

If you're using a dial up 56K modem, then you can't.  It's not possible unless you upgrade your service and get a faster modem (most likely external plugged into your USB or ethernet adapter, if you have these).  Some dial-up servers are a bit faster than others, but none will exceed 56K/sec.  Some ISPs may seem to be a bit faster, but this is only because they allow the text to downloaded first, then each image on the current section of the page you're viewing to be downloaded separately rather than everything on the page downloading at the same time.

Call me a suck-up, but AT&T-Yahoo!'s High Speed Internet access offers 1.5mbps (theoretically) access for $12.99/mo. Personally, that seems quite a good deal. Hope this helps!

what type of internet?

I sense a little confusion here, DSL is broadband, not the fastest broadband but broadband nonetheless.  NetZero hispeed really isn't high speed at all, it is just a 56k dial-up connection that compresses web page graphics, reducting quality but loading pages faster (maybe you knew that).  The problem with NetZero hispeed is that browsing may be faster but your downloads won't be.\n\nIf you want speed go with DSL or look into high speed cable services.

In general, no.  From a purely technological and performance stand-point, a modestly performing cable connection will be significantly faster than even the fastest available DSL.\n\nThe fastest available DSL connections, running under perfect conditions, will run about 1.5Mbps.  A cable connection, even with line congestion from excessive users, will generally get at least 2Mbps with many cable companies now running connections over 8Mbps.

In South Africa the maximum avaiable bandwidth to an individual is 1 Mbps (ADSL) and it cost a lot of money, though most people can still only afford 56kbps dial up connections.\n\nSome countiers will soon offer 100Mbps internet to households, that is more speed than anyone i know needs.

For the internet, speeds of 45 MB/s are considered fast. The company I work for has an OC3 link which is 155 MB/s

For me cable is faster.

go for the 29.95 plan on VZ DSL, if you want fast internet like cable... it doesn't slow down, it is da bomb... Plus they are coming out with fiber optics which is cheaper than cable and way faster than anything

Comcast has 6.0 and 8.0 internet srvcs is right now the fastest in the  market. No homeline required and no contracts either. Go to www.comcast.com/ my area and u will be able to see all the services we have in all areas all over the USA. We even offer phone services in some areas. Great services. And now they are even taking over other companies like Brighthouse networks and Adelphia in South and Central Florida.

If your question is whether cable is "faster" than DSL, check out http://www.broadbandreports.com/faq/129.  The answer is yes, with caveats.

It depends on your location.  In my area, the local phone company and the cable company are my only two options.  The phone company is cheaper but the cable company is faster.\n\nIn certain areas, you can get high-speed from multiple providers.  The best way to check is here:\n\nhttp://metrot1.com/component/option,com_wrapper/Itemid,44/\n\nYou enter your phone number and address and it tells you within seconds the providers that are available.  It also shows you pricing and specials.  You can sign up online.

Both DSL and Cable offer relatively high speed access. However if you really want FAST access you will have to lay out Thousands of Dollars a month for a T3 line (or better)\n\nFor home use, this is a little beyond most peoples budget ;-)\n\nI am wondering why you think it's not fast though. Have you ever had to use dial up access??\n\nYou can do a speedtest at this website - http://www.bandwidthplace.com/speedtest/\n\nI get 3 megabits per second with cable - even with the cheap DSL packages you should be getting 1/4 of that speed.\n\nIf your speed test says you are getting less than 600 K per second - then you should call your dsl/cable company - something may be wrong. If you are using peer to peer file sharing soiftware that will slow you down immensely in some cases.
