Introduction to Internet and Network Data Plans
Configuring the networking options on your Internet device is one essential step toward getting online. In most cases you will also need to sign up for an Internet data plan. The terms of Internet subscription agreements include limits set on the utilization of the connection over time. These limits are commonly known as data plans.

How to Connect a Computer To the Internet

Most Internet access methods used in homes involve a small hardware unit called a modem that connects to a physical medium supporting a fixed location service. Mobile Internet access methods also exist.
