ConnectMyHighSpeed.com, a comprehensive site to compare, order and select high-speed Internet services from industry leaders and well-trusted brands, is offering consumers essential tips on deciding which Internet speed is most ideal for their particular Web needs. ConnectMyHighSpeed suggests that Internet consumers consider the following when shopping for Internet service:

768 Kbps

    * Ideal Internet speed for budget-minded consumers simply looking for a connection that provides reliable high-speed Internet for basic searching, browsing sites, and sending and receiving email.
    * Still several times faster than dial-up service, basic high speed connections are ideal for functional Internet browsing, but not for downloading large picture, video or music files, browsing sites with flash animations or several advertisements.
    * Consumers enjoy the advantage of an always-on connection that does not interrupt your phone or television service.


1.5 Mbps

    * Ideal for consumers on a budget who want to download a bit more aggressively than the basic high-speed customer.
    * Ample download speeds for browsing sites, receiving e-mails and all the above functions, as well as the ability to download music, video and pictures.


3.0 Mbps

    * High-Speed Internet providers generally begin offering special incentives such as cash back or short-term discount pricing with a 3.0 Mbps package.
    * Ideal for just about any basic Internet function, as well as watching streaming video and television, online gaming and hosting and building a personal Web site.
    * Faster upload speeds for posting and sharing pictures and video, without bogging down the performance of the computer.


6.0 Mbps

    * Consumers enjoy the advantage of download speeds up to four times faster than the 1.5 Mbps package, and up to 100 times faster than dial-up service.
    * Top-notch download and upload speeds ideal for just about any Internet user, whether it be for hosting online games or expanding the scope of an online business. While the price may seem steep, the marriage of speed and exclusive specials and prices for upgrading makes the 6.0 Mbps package the most comprehensive high-speed Internet service available.
