DSL Internet Service

DSL is normally provided through a telephone company since they own the lines the DSL uses. This generally means you have a single source for DSL if you have one at all. There are third party providers, but they buy service wholesale from the telephone companies and resell it. Since the telcos don't want competition, the wholesale prices are set high enough that the third party providers must have a retail price higher than the telephone company. On this basis, we recommend going directly to the telco for your DSL.

Since you have one choice at your location, you shop by looking up prices for your local telephone company Internet service. You know what that company is, so click below for more information that applies to you.
