If you live alone and only use the internet for checking email and some light web browsing, you probably don't need the same [speeds](https://www.t-mobile.com/home-internet/the-signal/speed/got-need-for-faster-internet-speed) as a family of seven with [tons of gaming consoles](https://www.t-mobile.com/home-internet/the-signal/speed/the-internet-speed-you-need-for-gaming), laptops, mobile phones, TVs, and smart appliances. O quizás no te gustan los contratos extensos y costosos ni las conexiones con cables desordenados. Lo mejor dependerá de lo que tú necesites. So, where to begin? Here are some questions to ask yourself-so you can narrow down your search for a great deal. __Do you have a major need for speed?__ As mentioned earlier, depending on what devices you're using on a regular basis, finding a plan with the right speeds is important. Cuando repasas los diferentes planes de Internet residencial, lo que prepondera son las velocidades de descarga ya que necesitas más ancho de banda para descargar (recibir información) que para cargar (enviar información). Las velocidades de descarga se miden en megabits por segundo (Mpbs) y gigabits por segundo (Gbps). Si solamente usas wifi para navegar un poco por Internet y conectar un dispositivo móvil, un plan básico te puede funcionar. But if you stream high-def video, love gaming, are constantly on video calls, and/or own a lot of smart devices, your needs will be different. __Do wired connections make you cringe?__ Maybe, above all else, you love the freedom of putting your devices exactly where you want them. O quizás no te gusta cómo quedan los cables enredados ni las instalaciones complejas. Either way, you may want to step outside of [old-school wired connections](https://www.t-mobile.com/home-internet/the-signal/isp/ethernet-cables-lan-cables-home-internet). Seamos sinceros: la mayoría de los dispositivos nuevos son compatibles con wifi o Bluetooth, y cada vez menos y menos dispositivos vienen con conexiones con cable en la actualidad. Además, los cables generan desorden y limitan bastante tu configuración. Lucky, the latest advances in [5G Home Internet and Wi-Fi 6](https://www.t-mobile.com/home-internet/the-signal/internet-help/the-difference-between-5g-and-wifi) technology give you the option to wirelessly connect to your devices. __What services are available in your area?__ If you live in a big city, or some type of densely populated area, chances are you have a lot of choices, whether it's cable, fiber, or wireless internet providers. But if you live in an extremely rural area, your choices may be limited to satellite, or just [DSL](https://www.t-mobile.com/home-internet/the-signal/internet-help/what-is-dsl-and-how-does-it-work) (Digital Subscriber Lines), since DSL utilizes phone lines, which are widely available where other options are not. Con una consulta rápida por Internet podrás saber lo que hay disponible en tu área. En lo que respecta al 5G, continúa implementándose en pequeños pueblos, zonas rurales y grandes ciudades de igual manera. In fact, 50 million homes nationwide are now eligible for T-Mobile Home Internet- a third of them in rural America, which previously had limited or no access to broadband options. __What price are you willing to pay?__ Traditional wired connections, like cable for example, can be pricey or require lengthy contracts, not to mention certain equipment and service fees. Si bien DSL puede ser bastante económico, es probable que termines pagando una conexión más lenta comparada con la que ofrecen las tecnologías nuevas. Once you do your homework and know the speeds you need, it's time to compare plans from different providers to find the best fit. __Are you ready to make your move?__ Finding the best plan comes down to many things, including your lifestyle, location, budget and overall preferences. Lo bueno es que el servicio móvil de Internet 5G residencial rápidamente se está convirtiendo en la opción básica para casi todas las personas que quieren una conexión sin inconvenientes.
