Broadband Internet Access

Pros:  relatively inexpensive, high-speed Internet, wireless option, month-to-month service

Cons: availability, consistency

 

While cable uses the cable television connection and DSL Internet uses the phone line, they function in much the same way—providing high-speed Internet access to a host of computers at a comparable, affordable price (usually around $40-$60/month).  Both require an Ethernet network card for each computer you would like to be online, as well as a single, special modem.  You can easily self-install these units for free or a nominal fee, because a service appointment for installation can cause up to $100.  Yikes!

 

With cable or DSL Internet access, you can either plug the computer into the Internet connection, or you can use a wireless router to broadcast wireless Internet over your entire modular building.  This option allows for a number of computers to be online in your modular building without the hassle of cables or wires, but requires that each computer have wireless Internet capability.

 

While service availability can be an issue, if you are able to get cable TV in the vicinity of your modular building, chances are you will be able to get cable Internet for your modular building Internet needs. DSL Internet access for your modular building, however, is a little trickier; the service is better the closer it is to the telephone company’s central hub. 

 

Lastly, because cable and DSL are both usually month-to-month services, you can often cancel at a moment’s notice with no penalty fee, making this a great, flexible Internet access option Remember, the best way to get the best price on any service is to shop around, so get multiple quotes from both DSL and cable Internet providers before deciding which one is best.
