A Mac, preferably one running macOS 10.15 Catalina.

You might need to tweak a few settings, as I explain in the upcoming section “Plugging in your Internet-connection settings.”

After you set up each of these components, you can launch and use Safari, Mail, Messages, and any other Internet applications.

Your Internet service provider and you

You may have to select a company to provide you access to the Internet: an ISP. The prices and services that ISPs offer vary, often from minute to minute. Keep the following in mind when choosing an ISP:

If your connection comes from a cable or telephone company, your ISP is probably that company. In effect, the choice of ISP is pretty much made for you when you decide on cable or DSL service.

Broadband access to the Internet starts at around $25 or $30 per month. If your service provider asks for considerably more than that, find out why.

Higher-throughput packages for cable or fiber connections might run you twice that, but they may not be available in your area. To wit: The only Internet package available from AT&T at my address in Austin, Texas, today is $40/month for speeds up to 50Mbps and 1TB of data, plus an additional $10 for each 50GB over 1TB (up to a maximum $100 a month). Check with your ISP for details.

AT&T’s deal sucks, but I am fortunate in having another ISP — Spectrum (cable) — in my neighborhood. I pay $60 a month for a 200Mbps connection and unlimited data.
