"Wie komme ich ins Internet? Welche Zugangsmöglichkeiten gibt es? Welchen Anbieter soll ich wählen? Welcher Tarif ist der beste? Welche Kosten entstehen mir? Was brauche ich an Geräten und Programmen? Wie installiere ich diese? Und was kann dabei schief gehen? Dies sind nur einige der Fragen, die

Computerbesitzer stellen, wenn sie zu Hause erstmalig eine Internetverbindung einrichten oder von einem Schmalband- auf einen Breitbandzugang umsteigen wollen. Die Fragen sind berechtigt. Tatsächlich ist einiges an Wissen erforderlich, um sich in der Welt der Internet-Zugangsanbieter und Onlinedienste zurechtzufinden.
