How to Get Free Broadband Internet Services

Believe it or not there are still some ways to get free broadband Internet services. DSL and satellite Internet companies often offer introductory specials giving you from one to two months service for free. After that you will have to pay regular monthly subscription charges. You can get free broadband Internet service from many locations with Wi-Fi.

DSL and Satellite Internet Providers

Finding free broadband Internet services is a lot more difficult these days, but you can take advantage of free trials and introductory offers. In addition many companies provide free equipment with free setup. Some Internet providers require contractual obligations when you sign up for service, so be sure and check this. Qwest is an example of a company which sometimes offers a free trial of DSL service for 30-days. Find further information at qwest.com. At times EarthLink may offer specials for DSL service at earthlink.com.

Wi-Fi

Take advantage of Wi-Fi service in your area for free. You may pickup Wi-Fi service in local parks, Wi-Fi hotspots, apartment buildings, bookstores and libraries. Buses, restaurants, airports, campgrounds and many hotels also provide Wi-Fi while traveling.
Connecting to Wi-Fi service in most types of computers is relatively simple. In new computers you will need to check that wireless service is on and functional. Many of the newer models of computers will turn the wireless on automatically if the wireless adapter card is already installed.

Purchase a wireless adapter card and install it into your laptop, or buy a USB wireless adapter and plug it in if you need one. Navigating to the setup screens in Windows varies for each version. To get set up, click on the start menu and locate Internet connections or network. Find the wireless setup and follow directions.
