      There is only one internet, but you choose your ISP (Internet Service Provider). That’s the company you pay for having access to the net. If you use mobile data, you use the company where you have a mobile subscription to. You can also connection via your telephone landline (ADSL) or a internet/TV-provider offering both internet and live TV, via phone line, cable or glass fiber, or even satellite.

      With all companies you pay more for a faster connection. The fastest is glass fiber, but few people really need that.

      Generally one chooses based on speed, price, and reviews (for example about the quality of their customer service, or the reliability of the connection. And, of course, on what’s available where you live.

      This all depends on where you live. If you live in the middle of nowhere then you may want to invest in a satellite internet. If not, try to use fiber optic cable connections, with whoever has the best connection to your area.

      To choose the right internet

      Start by checking what’s available in your area because not all types, like fiber, cable, DSL, or satellite, are offered everywhere. You can search online or contact providers near you to find out. Fiber internet is the fastest and most reliable, perfect for streaming, gaming, or using many devices at once. Cable is also fast but can slow down if too many people in your area are using it. DSL is slower and uses phone lines, while satellite works anywhere but is slower, more expensive, and has higher delays.

      Look at the speed numbers when choosing, such as “100 Mbps” or “1 Gbps” (gigabit). The bigger the number, the faster the internet. Think about your needs: if you stream, game, or have a family with many devices, you’ll need faster speeds, like 100 Mbps or more. For basic browsing or emails, 25 Mbps is usually enough. Compare prices and read reviews to find a reliable service with good deals. Also, ask about data limits or extra fees to avoid surprises on your bill.

      To choose the right internet, check which providers are available in your area and compare their plans. Fiber is usually the fastest, followed by cable, while DSL and satellite are slower. Look at download and upload speeds, latency, and reviews to find the best option.
