1 Assess Needs

Before diving into the search for an internet service provider (ISP), it's important to assess your specific needs. Consider the type of online activities you'll be engaging in. Will you be streaming lectures, downloading materials, or participating in video calls? Each activity demands different bandwidths. You may not need the most expensive package with the highest speeds if your activities are limited to browsing and emailing. By understanding your requirements, you can avoid paying for more than what's necessary and focus on finding a plan that aligns with your educational pursuits.

Es bueno verificar antes que el ISP tenga en cuenta entre sus servicios el apoyo para la educación, ya que actualmente hay varios que enfocan sus servicios a esta área. Esto teniendo en cuenta que hay varios ISPs que se enfocan solamente en las áreas comerciales como por ejemplo B2B, B2C, B2G, no así en lo educativo.

2 Compare Plans

Once you've outlined your internet needs, it's time to compare plans from various ISPs. Look beyond the advertised speeds and delve into the details of data caps, contract terms, and any additional fees. Some providers offer special deals for students or bundled services that can save you money in the long run. Don't hesitate to reach out to customer service representatives to ask about any unadvertised discounts or plans that may be more suited to your situation as a continuing education student.

Una vez identificado el ISP que ofrezca en sus servicios los beneficios para el área educativa, se debe tener en cuenta, no solamente el plan, el ancho de banda, las tarifas, sino también que ofrecen en cuanto a la seguridad de la información (Ciberseguridad) para la protección de tus datos y la protección al usuario. También se debe garantizar el ancho de banda mínimo que ofrecen y que esto satisfaga tu conexión para el uso de los servicios de internet.

3 Negotiate Rates

Believe it or not, the listed price isn't always set in stone. You have the power to negotiate with ISPs. Arm yourself with information about competitor pricing and promotions, and don't be afraid to ask for a better deal. If you're already a customer, inquire about loyalty discounts or review your current plan to see if it's still the best fit. ISPs are often willing to offer competitive rates to retain or attract customers, especially if you show them you're considering other options.

En este punto es importante aclarar o establecer con el ISP un nivel de acuerdo de servicio (SLA), esto es para garantizar el servicio adquirido en tu plan y para que puedas establecer un sistema de compensación en caso de que el servicio se vea degradado o interrumpido.

4 Explore Alternatives

Traditional ISPs aren't your only option for internet service. Explore alternative solutions like community broadband networks, which can be more affordable and offer better customer service. Some local libraries and educational institutions provide free Wi-Fi access, which could be a viable option if you live nearby. Additionally, mobile hotspots through your cell phone plan can serve as a temporary solution if you're in a bind or need internet access on the go.

5 Utilize Discounts

Keep an eye out for discounts specifically tailored for students or educators. Many ISPs have special programs that offer reduced rates for those involved in continuing education. You might need to provide proof of enrollment or employment at an educational institution, but the savings can be significant. Additionally, during back-to-school seasons, promotions are common and can lead to more economical service plans.

6 Bundle Services

If you require more than just internet service, consider bundling. Many ISPs offer packages that include phone and television services at a reduced rate compared to purchasing each service separately. Bundling can simplify your bills and potentially unlock savings that individual services wouldn't offer. However, evaluate whether you'll truly use the additional services; otherwise, you might end up paying for something you don't need.

Para poder garantizar el servicio de conexión a internet es bueno considerar otras alternativas de conexión como los paquetes de datos de los servicios de telefonía móvil. Entonces sí tú ISP también provee los servicios de telefonía móvil, CATV, internet, entonces sería una buena opción para negociar un combo de servicios conocidos como triple play y te puedan ajustar a unos buenos planes económicos.
