The ISPcheck List

 

Pricing
   Is there a setup or activation fee?
   Do you get unlimited access with your service plan? If not, do you anticipate requiring more access time than is included in the service plan? Even if your base fee is dirt cheap, over limit costs can quickly add up.

Technical
   Is the ISP's modem line a local or toll free call from your exchange?
   What type of connection does the ISP have to the Internet?
   What is the user-to-modem ratio?

Service Offerings
   Does the ISP provide software to make the SLIP/PPP connection?
   Does the ISP provide proprietary content to subscribers? If so, is the content of interest to you?
   Does the service plan include free web space? What charges are associated with use of web space in excess of what's included in the service plan?
   What is the ISP's technical support availability and response time?
