There are lots and lots of service providers out there. If you already own a mobile account with a company that offers broadband, it’s worth seeing what they offer. Many companies offer broadband packages that bundle together other services you already own with that provider such as a mobile account, TV or telephone accounts.

Price and speed are also things to consider. If you need fast service that allows for a large or unlimited download limit then expect to pay more for your services. However if you’re a rare Internet user and you just check your email and the occasional weather forecast than you can feel safe going with a cheaper plan.

Broadband service providers in the UK charge anywhere from around £5 a month to £10 or more and the speed can range from anywhere around 8MB to 20MB. Most broadband providers will also require signing a contract and sometimes a connection fee. And there are lots to choose from including O2, TalkTalk, Virgin, Vodafone and AOL.

Check out what’s available and compare plans and packages. Don’t forget to check out if the broadband modems are compatible with your home entertainment such as Playstations, Xbox’s, Wii’s and Apple computers!

 I have found another free tool to test your broadband speed test. Nowadays broadband users are increasing taking advantage of convenience and portability, with no need of a land line and more flexibility. However sometimes broadband may have lack of reception, compared to a line access. This tool I’m posting about is specially designed for UK users, but it will work wherever you are in the world.

It will work with the most accurate results available for any type of connection including ADSL, cable and mobile broadband. It easy to use, just choose the details of your internet connection (provider, supposed speed, monthly internet and phone line cost, your postcode and a rate of your provider) then run the speed test and see the results with information on Broadband download speed and Broadband upload speed test.

You can see my test results in the following image:
