Other Broadband Costs

   Broadband Internet requires a modem to access the internet and must either be rented to you by your Internet Service Provider or some providers allow you to purchase your own modem to avoid a rental fee, some even offer promotional prices of the modems. If you choose to purchase a modem you should look to spend about $75 to $100 at a retail store, purhaps bundled with a mail in rebate. Renting the modem from your provider usualy puts a extra modem rental fee on your bill, usualy ranges from $3 to $5 a month.

   Depending on the provider you choose you may require a installation to connect the service, Some providers waive the fee for promotions, some do not. This is a important point to conciter when choosing a broadband provider. Installation charges range from Free to $150 depending what is needed for the installations.

   Watch out for long extended contracts. Read any contract you sign or pay close attention to the rates being applied to your account when you call a representative to confirm your order. Some providers only offer promotional rates for a short times but want you to sign a long contract with them. This limits your ability to keep your prices low.
