Establishing ISP connection

What is an ISP connection?

In fact, you are already familiar with this concept. ISP, abbreviated from the English "internet service provider", means "Internet service provider" or is otherwise called "Internet provider" (you can simply provider). He, in turn, is an organization engaged in the provision of such goods as access to the global network. It can be connected via home phone or via fiber optic cable, wireless networks, equipment rental and many other things related to the World Wide Web. As you can see, this concept has long been familiar to you. He just had a more or less “scientific” name.

Every Internet user has come across Internet service providers at least once in their life.

How can I hold the Internet?

Practically in any small and big city there are Internet providers. The same Rostelecom, for example, is an Internet service provider. It turns out that in order to give you a network to your house or apartment, you just need to write an application at one of the sales points. If you do not know the address, the following sources of information will help you:

  • They will find you themselves. No matter how funny it may sound, the proverb “If the mountain does not go to Magomed, then Magomed goes to the mountain” describes this situation very well. Now there is almost no dwelling without access to the global network. Providers have a lot of competition, so they try to find new users themselves. So, most often, the team of a company itself visits you at home, introducing the services of your company. In the extreme case, they everywhere hang advertising flyers, banners, all kinds of posters, therefore you will not lose sight of them.
  • A television. There is often an advertisement on TV where you can see the address of the location or the telephone number of the required service provider.
  • The Internet. A small paradox, but on the World Wide Web you can find almost any information. Take a smartphone or ask a friend, and he will find you the necessary addresses and phone numbers.

Well, now you know how to find the provider (if, for some strange reason, he still has not found you). You also need to familiarize yourself with some tips that will help you do everything right. It is important to choose the best tariff plan. Most often, the employees of the organization themselves will do it for you, suggesting prices and the speed provided. If your connection will be via ADSL, it is important to know what speed the cable can pull. That is, if you connect the speed of 70 Mbps, and the cable supports only 20 Mbps, then you do not need to overpay.

Also worth noting is the use of routers. Most often, providers offer their modems (with Wi-Fi support). But you can refuse and get completely different in the store (suitable for more experienced users). At home, such a router is enough for the head, so do not bother about it.

Connect and configure ISP

Usually, the installation of an ISP is done by employees of an organization that will continue to provide you with Internet services. Therefore, setup and connection should not fall on your fragile shoulders. However, there are cases when the company offers such “help” for a fee (maybe even more). Therefore, just in case, check out a small instruction that will help you learn how to set up an ISP connection.
