If you have just moved into a new home, then you may be wondering which type of internet service you ought to purchase. This is a question that nearly everyone must answer. In the last few years, you have probably always used the same type of Internet service. You are probably planning on calling your cable provider to order cable Internet or your local hone provider to order DSL Internet. It wasn’t too long ago when these technologies were touted as the cutting edge. They replaced dial-up internet service and got everybody zipping around the Internet at unprecedented speeds.

Cable Internet and DSL Internet have dominated home Internet service for so long that you may have stopped thinking about how your Internet service could ever improve. Unfortunately for the cable and telephone companies, there is a new player in town that will probably completely destroy their stranglehold in a few short years. This new player is the cell phone company.

This may surprise you. Maybe you remember trying to access the Internet on your cell phone, but you couldn’t stop yourself from laughing because it was such a joke. Well, things have changed since then. If you have ever used a modern cell phone like the iPhone, then perhaps you have caught a glimpse of just how fast the Internet can actually be when it is provided via the cell phone towers. Furthermore, the iPhone and most other phones still run on 3G technology. Even 3G is now becoming outdated as most cellular companies begin unrolling their 4G technology.

This new technology is already being offered by almost every cell phone service provider. It is known as wireless broadband Internet. In order to use this service, all you usually need is a small device the size of a thumb drive that you will plug into the USB port of your laptop or desktop computer. This small device is a modem that can send data to and from the Internet via the cell phone towers. Surprisingly, the price of this service is comparable to the Internet service that gets piped into your home via wires. You may want to check it out in your area.
