Get the best Customized High Speed Internet Plan suitable for your needs.
Choosing the right internet provider in your area depends entirely on how much of your internet connection you will be planning to use and which internet providers are available in your area. Cable and DSL internet are the most popular internet connection types, but they might not be available everywhere. Satellite Internet however, is usually available in most areas of the nation because the internet connection is being received via a signal from a satellite in space. Satellite Internet is a great option for those living in more rural areas who can’t access faster speeds with a local Cable connection. Choosing the right Internet Provider in your area also depends on how you’re planning to use your connection. If you have many High Speed Internet options available near you, you’ll have to decide on the plan that best suits your internet needs. If you will be constantly streaming, playing games, watching movies, or have multiple users on the network at the same time then Fiber, Cable, or DSL plans would work best for you (in that specific order) since speeds with these types of connections are the fastest. The location of your home makes a big difference in choosing your internet plan because of the availability limits. If you live in more of a rural area then Wireless and Satellite internet providers might be suitable for you since they have the most coverage. Satellite internet providers do however have limits on how much of the data you can use and will most likely set a “data cap” for you. We recommend starting with just 2 of the available providers in your area and begin comparing the speed, pricing, etc. You may have specific needs for extra speed, and one provider will stand out more for you, or if you are on a limited budget, you may want to go with the cheaper plan.

High Speed Internet is becoming an option that’s available to more people around the nation today due to the increase in internet connection availability and speeds. Getting Internet access in your home requires a location specific internet search to identify which internet providers can provide a High Speed Internet connection directly to your home. Here’s how you can get High Speed Internet access to your home:
Some providers may provide internet service in your exact area, but your home might not be able to connect either way because of distance issues. In the case where your first choice for an internet provider is unable to provide access to your home, you should have a backup provider in mind such as a DSL, Wireless or Satellite provider which would most likely be able to reach your home and provide you connection. Homes in rural areas generally have a much more difficult time finding a service provider that would work for them since most connections cannot reach such areas. Our AI assistant also keeps this in mind when helping you find the best plan for you. Click here to open a conversation and get started with your new internet plan.
Many internet connection types offer a wide range of internet speeds that can vary, so in some areas, shoppers can get similar speeds from a variety of providers. In other areas, a single type of internet connection may be much slower or much faster than another type. Your choice of internet service provider also affects what speeds you can access. For example, some DSL internet providers offer speeds up to 25 Mbps while other DSL providers offer speeds up to 140 Mbps. If you’re looking for High Speed Internet with a reliable connection, Broadband internet in your area would be one of the best internet options for you. Broadband internet offers speeds up to 100 Mbps and a stable internet connection due to the large amount of infrastructure built to support Broadband Internet connections in most areas.

DSL Internet uses sophisticated modulation schemes to pack a bunch of data into some copper wires (basically, a system that runs data through phone wires). DSL is sometimes called a “last-mile” technology because it is used only for connections that extend from a telephone switching station to a home or office. DSL is also referred to as an “always on” connection because it uses existing 2-wire copper telephone lines that connect to the end user and will not tie up your phone like a dial-up connection might. You don’t have to dial in to your ISP because DSL is always on and working as it is. Two of the main categories of DSL for home users are called ADSL and SDSL which we get into more detail below. Some of the more popular High Speed Internet providers such as AT&T offer DSL in many areas of the nation. DSL Internet is a great and affordable option for those who are looking for basic internet use such as browsing the web, checking emails, and using WiFi. If you’ve heard enough and would like to see nearby DSL offers, click here and we’ll help you find the best DSL providers nearby.

There are another two types of DSL technologies which are High-data-rate DSL (HDSL) and Very high DSL (VDSL). VDSL offers super fast data rates over relatively short distances. Typically the shorter the distance, the faster the connection rate would be. Collectively, all the different types of DSL are referred to as “xDSL”.
The debate over which high-speed internet service is better and faster has long been a topic of discussion. Historically, DSL speeds were perceived as slower, but advancements in technology have narrowed this gap. DSL typically offers users a range of speeds, from 128 Kbps to 3 Mbps. On the other hand, cable modem download speeds are often nearly twice as fast as DSL speeds, making them a preferred choice for many.
It’s important to note that cable internet connections operate on shared bandwidth, which can influence a user’s overall broadband download speed. When bandwidth is shared, the speed can fluctuate depending on the number of users on the network.
DSL, however, tends to offer a more consistent speed because the connection is not shared with as many other users on the network. This explains why cable internet providers often refrain from publishing specific speed information, instead opting for phrases like “we offer speeds up to…” This variability in speed is more noticeable in areas with higher population density, whereas rural areas with fewer users may experience faster speeds.
If you’re already subscribed to an internet service provider, you can easily check your internet speed using our Internet Speed Test Tool located at the top of the page. With this tool, you’ll be able to view your internet download speed in Mbps, your internet latency, and your internet upload speed, providing insight into your current connection’s performance.
Internet speeds can fluctuate depending on your usage and the online activities you’re engaged in. For instance, if you’re on a lower-tier internet package and have multiple users sharing the same network, this could potentially slow down your internet speeds.
To explore what internet providers are available in your area and the types of speeds they offer, we recommend utilizing our search tool. This will help you determine the range of speeds you can access and potentially find better options suited to your needs.
The level of internet speed you’ll need all depends on how you’re planning to use your connection, and what will you be planning to use it for. You can be more of a simple type of user where you’ll only be using your internet connection for online surfing, checking emails, and other basic activities that don’t require heavy speeds, or, you could be an avid gamer and heavy streamer where speed becomes hugely important for you. Understanding what you’ll be using your internet connection for will help you decide what’s the best plan for you. In this section below we’ll give you a better idea of what factors to consider when determining what internet speed is right for you:
The number of users that will be connected to your internet is a primary factor in determining what type of internet speeds you’ll need at the point of peak usage. Once there are multiple people connected to the same network simultaneously, it could create lag or latency issues and would affect individual users.
Some activities use up a lot more bandwidth than others. Streaming video is one common example of an activity that would eat up quite a bit of your bandwidth. Common activities include browsing, shopping, watching videos, gaming, etc. if you’re a simple user that mainly uses their internet for basic browsing and checking social media online, then you probably won’t need a super fast speed. If you’re a heavy gamer however, you would be better off with faster speeds that provide more bandwidth, especially if there’s many gamers using the same network!
The amount of internet usage in your home makes a big difference when determining what speeds are right for you. For example, you could be downstairs enjoying a basketball game in HD, your wife could be shopping on another computer across the room, and your kids could be constantly playing games, watching Netflix, and checking their social media accounts all at the same time. You should predict what kind of activities you and your family will be doing each day to help you determine if you need speeds on the higher side or the lower side. A recent Deloitte survey reported that actually more than 90% of people are involved in some sort of multitasking on a daily basis that includes things like watching TV while browsing online at the same time. Understanding your usage will help you in understanding what types of speeds you would need.
The average household today has so many different kinds of devices in use like TV’s, gaming consoles, DVR’s, smart appliances, etc. The more devices there are using up your bandwidth, the slower your speed will start to become. When searching for your provider on Qikowlhub, our agents will let you know what’s the device threshold for the plan you’re interested in to help you understand what’s the best option for you.
Every activity online requires different internet speeds. Here is a guide of what internet speeds would be needed for each online activity:
Low-definition: 1.5 Mbps
Standard: 3 Mbps
HD (1080p): 5 Mbps
Ultra HD (4k): 25 Mbps
HD: 2 Mbps
2-10 Mbps
Standard: 0.5 Mbps
HD: 1.5 Mbps
Slow: 5 Mbps
Fast: 50 Mbps
0.5-5 Mbps
If you feel like you already have a good understanding of what speed you’re looking for, our AI assistant can help you get started with the right plan for you.
To summarize, we would highly recommend using these minimum download speeds for streaming on just one device at a time.
If you’re ready to get started our intelligent search tool can help you find what providers are available in your area and our AI assistant can guide you further if you have any questions regarding the plans.
To determine whether your internet speed is good or bad, measuring it in Mbps (megabits per second) is crucial. Mbps indicates the rate at which data is transferred and is used to gauge both download and upload speeds, providing insight into the performance of your internet connection.
For instance, Fiber Optic Internet can offer speeds of up to 1000 Mbps, which is ideal for activities such as 4K HD streaming, online gaming, fast browsing, and supporting multiple users simultaneously. On the other hand, Dial-Up Internet typically provides speeds up to 3 Mbps, suitable for occasional use like checking email or browsing a few websites infrequently.
By understanding these Mbps measurements, you can make informed decisions when selecting an internet plan on Qikowlhub, ensuring that you choose a speed that meets your specific needs and preferences.
Before actually going ahead and ordering internet service, you want to make sure you have made a final decision on the right internet plan for you. Once you’ve searched nearby providers and selected the most suitable internet plan for you, the final step would be to actually order the internet service and install it at your home.
