How Do I Read the Fine Print in Broadband Contracts?

If you are thinking about getting high speed Internet service over your phone lines (DSL),  make sure you read the fine print of the contract.

• Find out the time commitment. A shorter time commitment is generally better, and many providers charge if you decide to end your service early.
• Check to make sure the provider doesn't have any restrictions on the amount of data you can receive or send each month.
• If you are planning to hook up a server to your broadband connection, beware: Many contracts forbid the use of servers.
