A great online resource is available to help me identify the available internet providers in my area.  I was first instructed to gain a basic understanding of what the various speed levels will allow me to do with my internet connection.  Once I had a handle on what speed was right for my lifestyle and internet usage, I went to a special offers page that highlighted the top internet providers nationwide.  I could see the various deals and compare them side by side.  I also was able to click on links directly to these providers to check on availability in my area.  Once I narrowed down my list to available broadband providers, I was able to easily choose the right package for me.
