How to choose your Internet connection

Choosing the Internet connection that's right for you is not just a question of budget. Here are some key criteria to consider:

• Connection speed and bandwidth

  Connection speed and bandwidth determines the amount of information you can download each second. Each Internet package has a speed limit and this will determine how fast the information will transfer from and to your PC. This speed limit impacts the time required to display the pages of your favourite web sites for news and entertainment and to download music. If you plan to surf intensively, to play online games or to watch videos, consider higher speeds and bandwidths.

• The monthly limit for data transfer

  A data transfer limit is associated to each High Speed Internet package and this is also key in your choice of package. If you are not the only one who uses the Internet in your household, if several computers are online simultaneously or if you regularly download videos, music, games, etc., you probably need a High Speed Internet Standard or even Pro package, which have a higher monthly download capacity.

• Online security.

  If your computer does not have a complete security solution, it may not be protected against viruses and online threats that could harm your computer data.
